<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2696316, member: 78244&quot;]I found out a few minutes ago that I won this, at the opening bid. I was blown way out of the water on everything (even after a scary moment when I accidentally bid $900 on a Qi knife <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Some good deals were to be had, but half of the coins in the collection were fakes, so I did not bid as strongly as I would have on the unpictured lots (if I could afford to, that is).</p><p><br /></p><p>This was by far my least expensive target, and my only win. I have never seen anything like it, and I doubt I will see another one again outside of a museum. I felt it would go nicely with my molds and casting flue.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]605896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]605897[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient China, Wang Mang&#039; Xin (&quot;New&quot;) Dynasty (7-22 AD)</p><p>Huo Quan (14-25 AD) <i>Four cast together in a row, still connected by sprues.</i></p><p>Hartill #: (left to right) H-9.40, H-9.32, H-9.34, H-9.34</p><p>Ex: Noble Numismatics Sale 114 Lot 4462, Patrick O&#039;Rourke Collection, Colonial Rare Coins, Queensland July 1995</p><p><br /></p><p>I find it quite intriguing how there are multiple varieties exhibited in this specimen. I would have thought that the impressions in the mold would have all been consistent, but apparently that was not the case. It does not look like the coins were cemented together. Input from your experience with molds? [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
