<p>[QUOTE=&quot;H8_modern, post: 2792878, member: 28531&quot;]I know a lot of people are superstitious about posting coins you don&#039;t have in hand. Nomos AG ended today and I didn&#039;t win the only one I bid on. The winner had Vespasian as part of his screen name so he was more dedicated than I. </p><p>So, if you want, post any wins or losses if you bid today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the one that got away</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r515/12volt-man/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-03/2E73ABD9-5BA1-4A66-A606-C6B6EE44DB91_zpsos5l1gtj.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And this description from a different auction of the same coin type:</p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian. 69-79 AD. Denarius, 2.97g (12h). Antioch, 72 AD. Obv: [IMP CAESAR VESPA] - SIANVS AVG Head laureate left. Rx: VICTORIA - AVG Victory standing right on globe, holding wreath before her and palm over shoulder. RIC 1547 (R2). RPC 1921 (2 spec.). BM 498. Cohen 588 (Elberling, 2 Fr.). Portrait in high relief. About EF Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection, purchased from Sayles &amp; Lavender, c. 2008 The only bust left on an Antioch denarius; otherwise this portrait appears only on aurei, with a legend ending COS IIII (RIC 1548-1552). The Victory on globe type too appears only here on the aurei and denarii of Vespasian and Titus at Antioch. Very rare, apparently only the fourth recorded specimen of this denarius. The first was reported by Elberling in 1863, whence Cohen took it over in the first volume of his second edition (1880). The specimen acquired by the BM from Feuardent in 1925 was that same Elberling coin, as Elbering`s picture proves. A second specimen is in Vienna, according to RPC and RIC; and a third was in Gorny &amp; Mosch 117, 2002, lot 500, whence it was acquired by A. Lynn and then resold in Helios 4, 2009, lot 292. There are no other specimens in CoinArchives Pro, Windwinds, CNG Research, or Berk photofile. The three illustrated specimens (ours, BM ex Elberling, Gorny &amp; Mosch ) appear to all come from the same obverse die, but are from three different reverse dies[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
