<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3016175, member: 19463"]I only have one eBay win this year but have been 1st underbidder on half a dozen other coins. I don't pay as much for unseen coins and prefer shows where I can place a hand on them so I only win on eBay when the coin is something no one would want. This Domitian diobol of Alexandria is a common coin and not the sort of thing people want even at $12.50 postpaid. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]748926[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>In 2017, I bought five through eBay.
