<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 3208395, member: 4298&quot;]Nice acquisition [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] and at a very good price</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m always confused when a coin sells for half the price it fetched just a few weeks or months earlier. When it&#039;s years you can always imagine fashion has changed and a whole segment (e.g. french royals in the 90&#039; in France) is disregarded. But in such a short time.... I can&#039;t but suspect some cash laundry or something of the like</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years back I privately purchased from HJB the following :</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/0170-210.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b> Pertinax, Denarius - </b>Rome mint, AD 193</p><p>IMP CAES P HELV PERTIN AVG, laureate head right</p><p>VOT DECEN TR P COS II, emperor sacrificing left, with patera held over tripod altar</p><p>2.98 gr, 17 mm</p><p>Ref : RIC # 13a, Cohen # 56, RCV # 6048</p><p><i>Ex Harlan J.

I asked Curtis Clay who ensured me it wasn&#039;t them who bought it from Vcoins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Q[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
