<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 6549941, member: 87200&quot;]I bid on 10 items and won two lots. Bidding was heated and several coins with initial bids of 25 CHF as I mentioned above went for over 1,000 CHF. Fortunately I was able to acquire an AR Miliaresion of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, Romanus I, and Christopher. My second coin was an AV Histamenon Nomisma of Constantine X Dukas.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, with Romanus I and Christopher, 913-959.
