<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4802846, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks, [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER].&nbsp; I completely agree with you that the Berk photos don&#039;t do the coin justice, and that it&#039;s the video that sells the coin.&nbsp; It certainly sold it to me, because my reaction to the still photos was that it&#039;s a nice coin, but I wasn&#039;t sure I wanted it until I watched the video.&nbsp; And now that I have it in hand, yes, it&#039;s pretty fabulous! May I ask how you were able to download the video? All I was able to do was save the link to the video at Vimeo.&nbsp; Maybe if I joined Vimeo I could download it?</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, my coin was Lot 497; there are four more Hadrian Alexandrian coins still available (Lots 498-501).&nbsp; I was very tempted by Lot 500, a diobol, which has a very nice Agathodaimon snake on the reverse (see <a href="https://www.hjbltd.com/#!/inventory/item-detail/ancient-coins/95213?fromBbs=212nd%20Buy%20Or%20Bid%20Sale" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hjbltd.com/#!/inventory/item-detail/ancient-coins/95213?fromBbs=212nd%20Buy%20Or%20Bid%20Sale" rel="nofollow">https://www.hjbltd.com/#!/inventory/item-detail/ancient-coins/95213?fromBbs=212nd Buy Or Bid Sale</a>); it also looks great in the video. But the $600 &quot;buy&quot; price is a bit steep for me, and I have no confidence that any bid at a lesser sum would be enough to win it.&nbsp; I hope it goes to another Coin Talk member, though!</p><p><br /></p><p>The link to the Buy-or-Bid sale itself is <a href="https://www.hjbltd.com/#!/inventory/buy-or-bid/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hjbltd.com/#!/inventory/buy-or-bid/" rel="nofollow">https://www.hjbltd.com/#!/inventory/buy-or-bid/</a>.&nbsp; The four available Alexandrian coins are at p. 17 of the online catalog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
