<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3183062, member: 19463"]That was a good article. Thanks for the link. I went through the offerings quickly and saw many coins I would once have wanted but this kind of sale is for people who want to pay too much for the coins they want rather than people like me who would like to see what does not sell at their start prices. I would love to have the catalog and suspect it will have some value in a decade or so. I was disappointed not to see two coins I always wanted but may have missed them. I consider it inappropriate to discuss specific coins up for sale since some of you may be planning to bid on them and don't need others being told what is special if they did not already know. After the sale, I would love to discuss some of these coins. There are many very ordinary ones as well as the rarities. There are so many rarities of Probus that no one will get them all. </p><p><br /></p><p>I got most of my Probus coins about 20 years ago when there were many more on the market than I have seen lately.
