<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IMP Shogun, post: 6557604, member: 114683&quot;]I have one coin from the Roman Republic, many of Imperial, and a Groat. After that grouping my next oldest coin is from 1968! I&#039;m not sure our collections cross based on what you posted - and I can&#039;t say I chased anything; even one interested party can drive up the hammer in Frank&#039;s pseudo-Dutch auction. At the risk of repeating myself, I think he does have the best process. I&#039;ve never been compelled by the a dwindling clock to overpay - even though I know I&#039;ve arguably overpaid for some <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!</p><p><br /></p><p>I managed to get these at what I think are reasonable prices 165, 119 and 161 (save everyone the trouble of looking it up if anyone cares).</p><p><br /></p><p>The sestertius struck with Pius matches wonderfully to a dupondius I have with similar patina, RIC III 855:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/pius-sestertius-aequitas-ric-209.16588/full?d=1614658933" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bonus Eventus denarius that makes a nice pair with one I have from his Pop Pop, RIC III 180:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/pius-denarius-bonus-eventus-ric-iii-180.16587/full?lightbox=1&amp;update=1614658933" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Valens Siliqua, a very nice votive example from Rome RIC 10c:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/valens-siliqua-ric-10c.16589/full?lightbox=1&amp;update=1614658933" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>My pictures aren&#039;t great, I was experimenting with different diffusion (yay another project!) with Frank&#039;s pics not doing them justice. I&#039;m also having problems uploading my files so these are screen snips of my files until I can figure out how to make them smaller <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
