<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7888959, member: 87200&quot;]In the last Leu auction I won a number of Roman provincial bronzes, some of them quite rare. Went for a bit over the asking price. Of course, on the really cool Alexandrian drachms from Antoninus Pius&#039; time (various zodiacal types, one with an Egyptian god in legionary armor) I was blown out of the water as the coins went for 10x-15x the asking price. It seems like a lot of folks are looking for these rare types, no matter the condition. I did win a scarce Maximian tet reverse type for 3x the asking price, but it doesn&#039;t have the eye appeal of the coins from the Antonine period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Admittedly I had wondered in the past if there was some kind of shill bidding going on but I believe that the evidence from my provincial purchases suggests (fortunately) that this was not the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
