Missed out on a really nice piece last month in a Heritage auction. I had put in a bid for close to double the estimate but still lost. My bid was about 1/3 of the eventual winning bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>This piece was kind of a consolation prize. It was purchased from one of my favorite dealers. No bidding required and it was considerably more affordable. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1252655[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Denmark</p><p>Obverse: Head of King Christian VIII facing right.
