<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26725837, member: 91820&quot;]A French auction house just sold a Geta sestertius from ca. 206AD. I had sold a bunch of my sestertii, saved up money from expense reimbursements at work, DESPERATELY wanted the coin but had to quit when the bidding went over 1600 euros.&nbsp; Who else besides me collects from this period?&nbsp; It was t in great condition - why bid it up that high? I’m I hope it’s not some museum that will put it away from collectors for good - does the British Museum really need multiple examples?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know people disagree but I think museums should stick to things like paintings, pottery and statuary.&nbsp; Not coins which spend most of their time locked in the basement while bronze disease turns the base coins to dust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
