<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4830827, member: 19463"]Lets make no mistake, CNG is a professional outfit compared to some of the outfits out their that claim to be worthy of your bidding dollars. It hurts less to pay CNG too much because they actually make an effort to deserve that buyer's fee. My one win also came yesterday but he was sensitive about his status (worst known of the three I have seen) so he asked that I try to show off his good parts to advantage. He asked nicely so here is a fine example of the Alexandrian eye, a drunk look on Liber's face and truly great vase detail.</p><p>Lot 143</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1168389[/ATTACH] </p><p>Of my coins, this may be the best of what the catalogs call an oenochoe but I'm not fully convinced that the die cutter was thinking of that shape due to the handle loop at the bottom and tall stem. Do we have any vase experts here? It really is hard to interpret things cut in this size. Notice there is a rim indicated at the top of the vase. I do not want to hear people call the Alexandrian coins crude. They are what they are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
