<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2468041, member: 19463&quot;]I am of the opinion that you paid about the right price for the coin and, considering it was a CNG sale, got a good deal.&nbsp; One of the lots I wanted went for 7x estimate while another went for start (60%) but it makes no difference since I napped through the sale and woke up two minutes after the last lot I wanted closed (for less than I was planning on bidding).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a possible explanation why some people (people like me) might have avoided the lot but most people are just looking for high grade coins and could care less about things I consider interesting.&nbsp; This one has nice clear Roman numerals on both sides identifying the dies but those numbers are nothing special.&nbsp; I have a few of the type (nothing great) but might prefer if buying another that it had a number like Bing&#039;s second coin showing the downward arrow form of L or a ridiculously high die number.&nbsp; If you think that is weird, I&#039;ll ask you remember that I have been called that many times. One of mine is like that with L (77/94 is about as cool as you get IMHO) and a second has an obverse symbol rather than a number.&nbsp; The third is fourree of the later moneyer who revived the type so I really do not need another of these.&nbsp; I see no reason you should not be thrilled with the coin!&nbsp; Yours does show a very appropriate spacing between the numbers illustrating the fact that obverse dies lasted longer than reverses.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmfrugi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Congratulations!&nbsp; It is a very nice coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
