About a year ago on this thread [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] asked a question. This question was in effect when looking back on my January 2021 bids would I feel remorse about bidding more. The answer is in most part no. In most instances I was not even the under bidder. I looked through Triton XXIV and really did not see any coins save two that I was interested in but did not bid more. One coin was a Gela tetradrachm. looking at it now it was a reasonable price for the coin but at the time I had others which I was looking at. The other was this coin.

Hansen[ATTACH=full]1422762[/ATTACH]I was interested in this coin but there was another coin that was coming up later in the auction that I was actually more interested in. I did not get it.  Later in the fall it showed up in Roma Auction XXII and I decided to bid on it. According to AC Search I paid $175 more in October. I would have had to pay more in January as the next bid increment was more than the $175 that is of course assuming I would have got it in the next increment. I think when looking back at my bidding last year I would have to say " I have no regrets"[/QUOTE]
