<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2337492, member: 76181&quot;]I don&#039;t know what you paid for yours, but I never expect less that 150% of low estimate on these coins in these winter auctions. It is christmas for coin collectors and anyone flush with year end bonus money is going to be shopping at these auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, the sphinx is fantastic and I love the irregular flan. Personally I think I like it better because of the flan shape. I can see it going that high......which is why I have yet to bid on one.</p><p><br /></p><p>For yours, the details in the face and overall skill of the engraver are superior to the engraver of the early type (lot 3126.) There is a relaxed and natural sense of resignation in the pose. The pose seems studied and well thought out. It captures a realism lacking in lesser examples. I focus on the CHOICE in the Choice VF auction designation for this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Want to trade it for an Aesillas Tet from the Roman Province of Macedon? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>btw flan cracks.......I don&#039;t mind them on a fat coin. I think it adds life to the coin. You can see the force of the strike baked into the coin for eternity. And you get to peek into the heart of the coin. All good by me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
