<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2456218, member: 76194&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman"><font size="5"> I was trying to bid on a RR denarius of M. Lucius Rufus at the Spartan Auction hosted by Agora Auctions. I got distracted and noticed a day later that I was bidding on another coin instead. Apparently this was the coin next to the M. Lucius Rufus, so&nbsp; I must have somehow switched to that one and entered the bid. I did not want to call Agora Auctions to have them invalidate my bid, because being relatively new there&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it looks good. I would just have to ride this out and hope someone bid $5 extra so they could take this unwanted coin and free me to bid on the M. Lucius Rufus, which is the one I wanted. </font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="5">The auction ended today and no one did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Come on people, only one bid and no one could be bothered to bid $5 extra for it?

I was dreaming of a nice Roma obverse, and instead I have this...apparently Juno...with the face only a mother could love.
