<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 3321231, member: 74834&quot;]350 was sold for $151. I think many of us wanted to bid on it. I&#039;m in a frugality period, so I didn&#039;t. I bid on several coins, but in the end won only one, a tetradrachm of the emperor Carus, that filled an aching hole in my collection. I had no coins of Carus, then decided on a coin that was cheap on Ebay, but when it came in I was not at all pleased.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]880367[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is shining like it was lacquered.
