<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4807824, member: 19463&quot;]Monday night, I was leading on eight but seven of those fell to last minute bids.&nbsp; The one I won was an Alexandria.&nbsp; IMO the best coins in the sale were lower grade but those and the better grade, more common items went too high.&nbsp; It may be time to hold off collecting until the people spending their travel funds drop out if/when Covid ever ends.&nbsp; The best coin in the sale IMHO was the VICTOR IVST AVG IICOS which was not nearly as nice as the maridvnvm example.&nbsp; One could argue the relative merits of the Minerva holding an owl that hammered at $900 + extras.&nbsp; Before this sale, I had not seen one other than mine (die dupe) that I bought decades ago for $80 (then only double the price of a common type).&nbsp; Mine has a crack but slightly better detail.&nbsp; I thought $200 was enough for it.&nbsp; Two others disagreed. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1166949[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;Emesa&#039; was my prime interest but I will have to console myself playing with the ones I have.&nbsp; This sale has driven me to reorganizing my ID numbers to make it easier to tell what I have.&nbsp; That will&nbsp; take a while so I can stop chasing coins I will not win.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
