<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7621003, member: 19463"]To me the sad part is, I believe, you could resell the Titus for a profit immediately while the Macrinus' Nicopolis issues as a whole are the sort of coins that might take several decades to offset the retail to wholesale gap. According to my computer, I currently am harboring 94 coins that are ex. PeteB. The last four are still on his site marked sold. Several times I have made the same choice against Titus that you did. Financially that may have been a recurring mistake but there is something to be said for having a thousand coins in the collection rather than just one. Rather than showing the requested Nicopolis, I'll show those four most recent from PeteB.</p><p>Septimius Severus and Clodius Albinus, Pautalia</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1311457[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius Severus, Amasia, Pontis</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1311458[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Julia Domna, Callatis</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1311459[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla without Geta, Stratonicaea, Caria</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1311460[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone knows I prefer interesting to high grade.
