<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 4529120, member: 57495"]I'm typically a bottomfeeder at a NAC-level auction, and rarely ever win anything. Looking through just my watchlist for this latest one, I think the hammer prices were actually pretty fair, if more than what I was prepared to go for them. I did win one coin on a prebid, a type I've always wanted. It went for about 30% less than its last auction outing 10 years ago, but as the market isn't a static one, and this isn't a particularly rare type, that fact doesn't really count for anything IMO. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that I'll be happy with the coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://media.biddr.com/media/img/auction_lots/1088/1162558_1588750848.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Marcus Aurelius augustus, 161 – 180.</p><p>Restored issue of M.
