<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2135003, member: 42034&quot;]So this thread is <i>siliquae</i> that one regrets not buying in the past?&nbsp; Okay here&#039;s mine.&nbsp; I did submit a written mail bid for it but that day my wife scheduled something for me to do so I was unable to bid live &amp; was blown out of the water with my cheap bid.&nbsp; Still siliquae generally never sell for crazy figures.&nbsp; This one is Constantine III.</p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_coin/Rome_Constantine-III_siliquae_Kunker_both_auc-listing.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one siliquae which is of Valens.&nbsp; This one was bought from a Stack&#039;s mail bid sale,&nbsp; 2007, lot 866, at an average price for these.&nbsp; Of course this is a very common coin.&nbsp; Now that I look at the pix: it isn&#039;t too bad.&nbsp; I wanted Valens in particular for his role in losing the battle at Hadrianopolis and sealing the fate of the Western Roman Empire.&nbsp; Here the engraver crowded the whole &quot;DN VALENS&quot; on one side of the coin: with obvious results. See below.</p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_coin/Rome_Valens-siliq_866_both.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have never bought a coin on EBay which I did not return.&nbsp; It&#039;s almost a point of honor anymore.&nbsp; Of course the things that I didn&#039;t buy/ lost at auction end up in the hundreds of pieces and are really nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
