<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2762260, member: 10461&quot;]Yes, this is an excellent point.&nbsp; I probably was a (slight) headache to the dealer who offered <b>Coin A</b> (and in fact they had offered me very nice terms on it, and even put it on layaway without my asking when I had some money issues arise earlier).&nbsp; There is a reason the seller of Coin A is currently my favorite dealer.&nbsp; (I&#039;ll go ahead and give &#039;em a free plug- it&#039;s Atlas Numismatics- specifically Chris Baker at that firm.)&nbsp; So yes, I backed out of that deal, but just a few moments ago bought <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/world-coins-your-newest-acquisition.165399/page-437#post-2762258" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/world-coins-your-newest-acquisition.165399/page-437#post-2762258">a different coin</a> from them for almost the same price (no layaway or discount requested), paid up, and have apologized for being wishy-washy on this deal with the Ambracian stater, so hopefully all is forgiven.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Coin B</b> (the Corinthian stater) has arrived (from FORVM Ancient Coins), and I have examined it in hand.&nbsp; It is a nice piece, sharp and bright.&nbsp; I personally would have preferred it to be toned more like Coin A (as some others stated), but I like it and think I&#039;ll be keeping it.&nbsp; ([USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER]: knowing our track record, it might end up with you <i>eventually</i>- you do seem to end up absorbing some of my ancients over the years, as they rotate out of the Box of 20.&nbsp; How does that keep happening?&nbsp; LOL)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
