<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 7426540, member: 26302"]You never know how it will work out. I got two group lots of greek bronzes a while ago at Stacks, Just got the coins from my sister a couple of weeks ago. I was most excited by a group of 79 from N. Africa and Asia. I paid like $20 per coin. The box has been a little underwhelming. Sure, there is a gVF Bar Kochba AE26 in there, and maybe 8 other Jewish coins from revolts, 8 Punic or Siculo Punic, but kind of meh for $20 average. However, the OTHER box I got of about 120 pieces for about $13 per coin just KEEPS giving goodies, tons of nice Sicilian pieces, even a Augustus and Agrippa Nemausus perfectly centered in VF. So, the box I THOUGHT I would be geeked about was underwhelming, but overall even versus my lowball, cheap standards, I did well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
