Message:: [QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24646356, member: 26430"]That's a real bummer, and quite a screw-up by the vendor. I would think they'd err on the side of making you a more attractive offer, but I guess not. Problem with group lots is always that the seller has already shown they don't consider the coins worth paying detailed individual attention. So you may have had just the one chance to convince them of the price you would accept. Even though your coin is surely worth more than the lot average, they may not be inclined to debate their individual values. You do have one advantage. Now that the coins are in hand, you have additional information unavailable when you placed your bid: you can see their reverses & judge their value & what they're worth to you. (That Lucius Verus looks very promising; there's a Hadrian and Domitian that look potentially nice; a nice Septimius portrait too.) I don't know how they'd respond to a counter. (I do think it would be fair, though.) Sadly, though, the practical upshot may be that you have to just take the 60 or send it back. I'd be disappointed, too. (Unless some of the other 21 turned out to be quite nice.)[/QUOTE]
