[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4312130, member: 98035"]Oh man - I dont think I could part with a Priscus Attalus! Hopefully you made a solid profit on both sales? I like to think of myself as a flipper, even though I often form emotional attachments to coins in lots that I buy with the mindset, "I'm going to sell every last coin." A few coins I did part with, even though I didn't want to. Augustus funeral quadriga sestertius by Tiberius, to date the most expensive coin I've ever sold - but at least it now has a loving home with another CT member! [ATTACH=full]1096528[/ATTACH] A hemitartemorion of Kebren, with one of the most finely executed portraits I've ever seen on a coin weighing less than 0.1g [ATTACH=full]1096522[/ATTACH] A stunning obol from the unattributed satrapal series of Cilicia - quite possibly the finest specimen of its type. [ATTACH=full]1096523[/ATTACH] A posthumous denarius of Caesar, and published on Wildwinds - I sold this before I eventually decided that I would want a posthumous Caesar, too. [ATTACH=full]1096526[/ATTACH] An archaic obol of Kyzikos, one of just a few known, and it sold for way less than I figured it should have [ATTACH=full]1096525[/ATTACH] I just parted ways with this charming barbarous imitation of perhaps a Claudius As - there is no way I would have sold it if it had a reverse, but nevertheless still painful to part ways [ATTACH=full]1096524[/ATTACH] A tiny and very rare semis or quadrans of Domitian as Caesar - it fetched an OK price, but I haven't managed a suitable replacement since seller's remorse kicked in. [ATTACH=full]1096527[/ATTACH] I sold this Eucratides AE before I knew what I was doing, and before I had enough followers - it sold for about 1/3 of what I assumed it would :( [ATTACH=full]1096534[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
