<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8524633, member: 110226&quot;]The post auction lots that I&#039;ve purchased in the past are ancient or early medieval coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, coins receiving no bids usually have issues with condition, strike, or allowable minimum bid level, which can vary by consignor.&nbsp; However, such post sales can be a source of decent coins at bargain to reasonable prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>This Roman didrachm attracted no bids in Roma&#039;s E-Sale 100, due to multiple lots of this type available, plus the fact that the obverse is off center, the die for the obverse is not the best in workmanship (possibly a Spanish mint coin), and there are a few die breaks on the reverse, at the bottom. On the plus side is a very well centered and struck reverse for this type.&nbsp; At a post auction price of £372.00 after conversion the price I paid was $438.96, not exactly a steal but a good price for this type coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Roman Republic, Anonymous Didrachm, circa 225-214 BC.
