<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 8237036, member: 86815&quot;]That is a beautiful coin [USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER] and I can appreciate why you were attracted to it.</p><p>I am possibly the worlds expert on underbidding on these coins. I have had more unsuccessful bids on this coin than any other over several years. Each time I think I have one, it eludes me and its not for putting in lowball bids either. There was a number of Quadrigatus in an auction last year that CT members might remember, I forget which Auction House, and I bid really high on one and a spread of bids on others and didn&#039;t win one. I am nervous about spread bidding as in another field I once ended up with four of the same item as no one else bid on them.&nbsp; It joins a list of my &quot;must haves&quot; but there is a satisfaction in being patient and occasionally being lucky.</p><p>To my mind, the search is almost as satisfying as the acquisition and I have proved that you really can act in haste and repent at leisure with some of my less prudent purchases. We have a saying here that if you want a policemen or bus you can never find one but when they arrive, they will arrive ten at a time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
