<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7793494, member: 110504"]My latest nightmare story actually has a happy ending. This one was on US ebay, but from the only dealer who lists there (a European) who's consistently worth checking for medievals. He had an early 11th-century German royal /imperial denar, partly imitating a penny of AEthelred II of England. I was poised to bid on it --and that's when the keyboard for my antiquated desktop, with advanced electro-neural dementia, decided to go on the fritz. Had to reboot; took four minutes; it closed Too low. </p><p>Fortunately, I had solid rapport with the dealer; wrote him about it (with an apology for not bidding ...higher than he got), and asking him if he could list another one some time. Before too long, he did, and I landed it; easily within condition range of the one I lost (and since posted here, somewhere). And the closing price wasn't even enough higher to matter over the long term.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
