I Love Bad Pictures and Poor Descriptions!

Nice catch...I wondered why those dropped off my watch list as sold!

They seem to be jewelry specialists, but for over a year now they have been selling a lot of ancients, said to be from a local estate. They have provided excellent service and I have been quite happy. They price things around $10-25 and some of it is really junky LRB. But they sell some great stuff too.

Than being said, not sure I'm real happy about you discovering one of my favorite sellers (with really dark photos)......awww, I'll get over it.... Congratulations.

As @dougsmit notes above, yep, that was my post and from the same seller (the second one required extensive CT member help, as noted):

Here's some big Imperials/Provincials I got for cheap last year from this seller:

Dang I'm bummed I missed out on those! Stumbling across the seller was pure chance. I am really happy with the ones I managed to snag though.

 

Nice pick up! Definitely some keepers! Kushan and Victorinus pieces are great examples.

 

Poor photos and bad descriptions helped me get this Lucilla sestertius for less than $40, which I think is a great deal, though not as stellar as your deals!
