<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2887882, member: 57495&quot;]Did anyone else pick up anything from the Bargain List that Frank Robinson put out yesterday?&nbsp; It seems a quaint throwback to sell coins off a fixed price list with zero pictures and only text descriptions in this day and age, but there&#039;s an element of fun to these that I find appealing.&nbsp; Frank&#039;s descriptions are often amusing, and usually quite accurately describe the condition of the coins.&nbsp; Also, most of the coins are priced under $20, so while there&#039;s some risk involved, they don&#039;t burn a huge hole in my pocket and I always try to pick up a few coins whenever he puts these lists out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was lucky this time around and saw the list a few minutes after he e-mailed it.&nbsp; When I checked back on it 12 hours later, only about 10% of the 250 or so coins on it had not yet sold.&nbsp; I picked up 9 coins and I&#039;m really looking forward to receiving them so that I can actually see what I bought <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few from some of his past bargain lists.&nbsp; These two were under $10 each.&nbsp; Gallienus with retrograde field mark unlisted in RIC.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]693453[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantius Gallus AE2 Fallen Horseman from the Alexandria mint.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]693454[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, sometimes the gamble doesn&#039;t quite pay off.&nbsp; This Postumus sestertius was $20.&nbsp; It&#039;s been a little hard to love and even harder to photograph, but still, at least I have a Postumus sestertius!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]693455[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to share your own![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
