<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 5000669, member: 87179&quot;]This past weekend I tried to participate in the Heritage Platinum and Signature world and ancient auctions. I say tried because everything I bid on went for around double what I was willing to spend. They had a Wildman type that I really liked and was the focus of my participation. It ended up selling for about $1000 more than any other sale for the type. Oh well, life goes on.</p><p><br /></p><p>As condolence to myself, I decided to purchase this one that I have had my eye on for quite a while. I sent a message to the seller and we agreed on a reasonable price. I do not have it in hand yet. When it arrives I will take better pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>This piece appeals to me in multiple ways. First, there are 2 wildmen on the reverse. Second, it is a mining Thaler which I have been looking at more and more.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1200484[/ATTACH] </p><p>Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel.
