[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2926522, member: 80783"]Even though I try to restrict myself to bronzes, I also tend to be a completist, so I got carried away and bid up to 625 USD on this Niger Denarius in last week´s Vinchon auction. [ATTACH=full]709724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]709725[/ATTACH] I thought that would be a good deal for a worn but rather handsome Pescennius. I even ALMOST got it and just ONE bidder wanted it even more than me :-(. Was that one of you? Please let me know that this was not a particularly desirable issue to have and that one should stick to his collecting area. Otherwise I will regret not having gotten it at any price. To console myself a little I went to VCoins and instead of a mildly handsome completist´s dream I bought a Sestertius of the commonest emperor. Whenever I fondle it I shall think about the 600 Dollars (including fees) that I saved. And doesn´t one nice Gordian in terms of eye appeal for money beat of all of Niger´s output by miles?
