<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pprp, post: 5247212, member: 94602&quot;]Oh, I have no doubts that the hammers would have gone even higher if I insisted and I doubt I would have succeeded in the end. None of these coins are so rare to get me into the Antigonos bidding mode...And this is why I am surprised by the strong competition, since coins numbers 2 to 5 which I lost are nice but still VF or VF+ in the best case. So the competition is probably buying provenanced material at any cost and doesn&#039;t care for getting only EF or EF-.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually wanted the Antigonos coin because of the symbol which is the star of Vergina. I was unfortunate to run into the provenance which I assume brought the competition. And I am not a provenance freak. I first have to like a coin regardless of the provenance. On many occasions when I discover a hidden provenance before the auction takes place I am usually cursing because as I know I can never compete with the usual suspect...</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to see your Antigonos; if it&#039;s from an auction, I can speculate it&#039;s either the MDC or the Oslo one. Taking out the rarity/symbol aspect both are way nicer coins than mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
