Message:: [QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2623223, member: 75525"]I won a book and a coin at auction. These were not my first wins from NYINC auctions, but were my first in person wins!!! What fun. Just made it home and have work tomorrow. I will post more later. [ATTACH=full]575899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575900[/ATTACH] The best item I saw, and there were plenty of great pieces, was a set of ancient Jewish scale weights. The Goldberg folks were nice (foolish) enough to let me see the pieces. Impressive. I would like something like that that was "known" to be from the Roman Republic.[ATTACH=full]575901[/ATTACH]  Ancient Judaean Stone Weight Collection.
