<p>[QUOTE="jgusdon, post: 3094303, member: 95132"]I wrote a post just now but hadn't signed in so I think it has disappeared. If I get two posts saying about the same thing that is why.</p><p>I spent a few days agonizing how high to bid on a few Alexandria drachms from Dattari collection. Finally put in my bids -- after all they were starting so low for my favorites (especially the centaur biga) that I thought - wow! I have a chance. Then I got outbid quickly but raised my bid quite high for me ( I do have a son to put through college and heating bills get quite high up north) but addicted as I am to this hobby I went for it and then felt kind of sick wondering if I might actually get the coin -- there are so many better pedestrian uses I have for that money -- don't tell the wife. The coins pretty much just get hidden in a safe deposit box anyway. Well the agonizing was all for nothing. I do believe there are at least two billionaires out there who like the same coins I do and will bid far up beyond heaven to get them and I haven't a ghost of a chance. The centaur coin went for over 1,500 pounds. I do like looking at the pictures however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
