<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2350044, member: 19615&quot;]I won this coin in Gemini VIII. That was an auction we (HJB) ran jointly with Heritage in Chicago at the CICF, so the Internet biding was unusually aggressive. Many of the online bidders were, I suspect, US collectors used to spending five figures for coins, just dabbling in ancients because Heritage was involved. This was April 2011, six months before the big jump in prices for choice RR denarii in RBW I. I fully expected to win this at around $2500 + commission. The Internet bidding shot well past that and I thought I was out at $3400. The auctioneer was about to hammer the lot closed when I yelled out, LOUDLY, before God and the Internet &quot;Oh f-k it!&quot; and raised my hand one last time. The room cracked up, the Internet shut up, and this terrific coin was mine (MINE MINE!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
