<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 7597520, member: 112621&quot;][Editing] I agree, although where people get this idea of using ancient coins for wealth protection is a bit puzzling. Over time coin prices have been pretty stable. And barring this last years run up and even then it’s only for specific coins, coin prices have not outpaced even a simple S&amp;P or Dow ETF, so better to just put ones money in there. There seems to be, in recent history at least, a correlation between the person in the White House and a certain group of people thinking that fiat money will tank and so silver/gold is a must have. Gives me a harty chuckle. But I don’t want to get too political.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said… Somehow by the grace of the gods I won <u>one</u> out of four coins despite deciding not to wake up at 4am for the conclusion. Looking forward to posting it on one of [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]&nbsp; Faustina Friday’s! Though it’s almost a curse now to have to pay shipping just for a single Denarius <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly… all the coins I bid on, and a good number I was watching (Flavian through Antonine) all got won by a bidder(s) submitting the winning bid precisely 2 seconds before close. I have a feeling someone scooped up a good number of coins all at once playing the sniping game. Always fun noticing these patterns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
