<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3947020, member: 98035&quot;]Sometimes there is very little rhyme or reason to prices realized on ancient coin auctions. Many areas are so niche that there may only be 2-5 people willing to drive a coin up to a &quot;high&quot; price (be that $50 for a special LRB or $500,000 for some piece worthy of a royal collection) if those people aren&#039;t present, the coin doesn&#039;t reach the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point, I was outbid on this exact Messalina coin back in a Triskeles auction in June, where it sold for over $350 before fees.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1040100[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the buyer didn&#039;t pay, or maybe they had a change of heart, because it came back up for auction again and I won it for almost $200 less the second time around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
