[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 7599956, member: 91461"]Sorry for the bad form posting in this thread before the auction was over. It drives me nuts seeing people posting about auctions and or coins I'm interested in before they're up (there's a post here everytime Frank Robinson farts!). Anyways, I did get blown out of the water. But while watching a lot of this auction I did see lots of sniping (which I'm not against). The concern is reading this thread, as well as warnings beforehand, that Leu appears to "take advantage" of their customers by bidding them up. When I over pay for a coin I like to think it's from my own hubris and NOT that I'm getting swindled. Though I love their coins, I think next time Leu has an auction I'll do my best not to look at the lots. To keep it legit, here's my only ex Leu that I'm aware of, which, funny enough, I purchased from a nomos Obols: [ATTACH=full]1308649[/ATTACH] CILICIA, Mint Uncertain 400-350 BC. Obol (Silver, 10 mm, 0.58 g, 1 h). Female head facing, turned slightly to left, wearing earrings, necklace and flowing hair (Arethusa?). Rev. Facing head of Bes. Göktürk 44. SNG Levante 233.
