<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 6208818, member: 86498&quot;][ATTACH=full]1245871[/ATTACH] </p><p>On many occasions I have received coins that have been quite a bit different from what I was expecting. Especially in regard to their color. I remember that in one auction I bought one coin that looked bright and shiny in the picture&nbsp; and got a rather dark coin The other coin was pictured as being dark and turned up bright and shiny. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I learned early on to try to look at the details of the coin and decide on that basis alone how much I was willing to spend on that coin. Of late whenever possible I try to go to shows, view auctions,&nbsp; and use auction representation&nbsp; so that I have my eyes or someone who I trust look at the coin and tell me if I should bother. As an example</p><p>Carthage Ae Trishekel 220-215 BC. Obv Head of Tanit left wearing wreath of grain. RV. Horse standing in front of palm tree. CNP164a 19.48 grms&nbsp; 30 mm Photo by W.
