<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2393180, member: 77704&quot;]I have learned valuable lessons over past 25 years when it comes to auctions/prices realized/bidding/etc.</p><p>First off, if an auction house specializes in ancients, likely the prices realized will be on higher spectrum. On the otherhand, if the auction house specializes in European coinage, but have a small section of ancient....likely you will find a better deal. Again, one must have the condition that the coins are equally graded/photographed. So that if auction A has a mint state AV Stater from Alexander III Babylon Mint/ auction B has same coin exactly...final realized prices could be very different. I have noted, when there is bidding war between a floor bidder/ and internet bidder with deep pockets....in one case a AV Aureus Anthony/Octavian in EF went for 180,000 UK Pounds/ estimate was 45K.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
