<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2808941, member: 75525&quot;]To answer the question of how an otherwise not interesting coin could go for a high price - It only takes two deep pocketed and dedicated bidders to have a coin go for three or more times than earlier prices. I would not want to get into a bidding war with [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER]&nbsp; over a coin both of us saw as special. </p><p>I would have liked to watch RBW and JD (two big time RR collectors whose collections have sold recently) bid on a coin they had to have.... like the following Cr 13/2 from the JD collection sold for 50,000 CHF vs an estimate of 20,000 CHF.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]656709[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=+%22Crawford+13%2F2%22&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=+%22Crawford+13%2F2%22&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=+&quot;Crawford+13/2&quot;&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in my RR denarius collection that fits this description is:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]656710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]656711[/ATTACH] </p><p>ROMAN REPUBLIC</p><p>C.
