<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3247204, member: 8959&quot;]Now that the auction is over I can go ahead and show you the one that I &#039;almost got.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>In spite of this being of the few on my list of coins I would still like to get while I am <i>of this earth </i>(hopefully still for a long while<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), I decided to back-off this one simply for the reason that, on the picture at least, the coin looks a bit porous, potentially crystallised and therefore fragile. </p><p><br /></p><p>You may recall thread about my beautiful Nero denarius which ended up in two pieces?</p><p>Well, that one really spooked me, and I did not want to run anew the risk of ending up with two pieces of an expensive coin in my hands. It just looks fragile to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that it is difficult (impossible) to judge from a picture, but I just did not feel comfortable with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I made it part of the way thru the bidding, and then commonsense took over.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the bright side, now I have some funds for something else...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851253[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
