[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7287153, member: 111037"]This purchase was actually the result of my frustration, when I realised that I am unlikely to be able to place a competitive bid for a solidus in the upcoming Roma auction. I will still give it a go, but I would be very surprised if I win. A gold tetarteron would be a great addition to my collection as they were beautiful coins. I would have to stop buying coins for a bit though to be able to amass the necessary funds, which is currently unlikely as I keep buying coins to kill my lockdown boredom. Perhaps this post is a good opportunity for me to share a nice aspron trachy from John's father in law. After all I wrote about him in this write-up and it was my first Empire of Nicaea coin. St Theodore and his mighty sword is on the reverse in this example. :nailbiting: [ATTACH=full]1275958[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
