<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1954336, member: 44357&quot;]Thanks! There were indeed several examples which I couldn&#039;t justify bidding on, and a some others which I would love to own. I&#039;m grateful that mine lands on the upper end of the spectrum of known examples - not the finest known but a solid coin which doesn&#039;t look &quot;wrong&quot; compared to the rest of my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did consider bidding on the NAC coin which was sold two weeks prior to mine, but I was only willing to progress slightly over the estimate (as I was of the opinion that any Eid Mar would be better than none). </p><p><br /></p><p>(For those who aren&#039;t familiar with it, here&#039;s the NAC example)</p><p><img src="http://www.sixbid.com/images/auction_images/1299/1197830l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>However, in hindsight, I would have really disliked it and would be immediately looking for an upgrade. Watching it sell for $160K was very disconcerting to me as I was attempting to determine the relative value and expected price of the Goldberg and Lanz coins following it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s quite high relief enough for a side-on shot, unfortunately, although I&#039;ll still give it a try the next time I have it in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
