[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 4561379, member: 44357"]They also only selectively reported the coins that exceeded estimates: there were a handful of Judaean coins at or below estimate or not selling and quite a few Greek/Roman either unsold or relatively cheap. I don't understand the dekadrachm price - I don't mind the gouge mark as much as I dislike the cleaning job. It was aggressively done and, based on the pictures, looks pretty disappointing overall with "dead" surfaces. The Doson was more in the $2K range in my eyes and now I look like a fool for selling a much nicer coin for $3K some years ago. I haven't asked around but I'm assuming that their Judea Capta aureus has some doubts associated with it as that not selling for $25K would be a surprise, even with the marks (if real, it's a far more expensive coin - it only "sold" for $28K at the New York Sale this past NYINC as well on a $35K estimate).[/QUOTE]
