[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3556505, member: 8959"]So many great and interesting finds. Thank you, all, for posting your great cherry-picks. Here a couple more of my 'best ever' cherry-picks: Back in 2010 a part-time dealer I knew was selling some Celtic quinarii that I was really interested in. As part of a package deal he added a few nice but common 1st century denarii. As we talked and argued back and forth about the price and in order to sweeten the deal, almost as an afterthought, he threw another coin into the package. I was happy with his final offer because I knew the 2 quinarii alone were worth more than what I paid for the full lot of 6 coins. I was in fact really after the celtic coins. The coin he added into the package turned out to be a Siliqua of Constantine III minted at Lugdunum. It shows a few flan faults and what seems to be a flan chip, but it is a scarce coin with good detail. [ATTACH=full]945387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]945388[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
