<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7979814, member: 97383&quot;]I sat through the 2nd session of the Heritage Platinum Night &amp; Signature Auction today &amp; am posting a few ancient coins that caught my eye. Prices for many of these coins is totally absurd <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Again it appears too many bidders are buying the slab &amp; not the coin inside the slab. Is there really that much money out there that people can afford to squander it by overpaying for these coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? All the prices realized that I&#039;m quoting include the buyers premium of 20%.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1384891[/ATTACH] </p><p>This Owl sold for $13,200.00 despite having horn silver on the obverse &amp; cleaning scratches on the reverse <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1384894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1384895[/ATTACH] This Owl sold for $1,800.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.

I&#039;ve always wanted one of these coins to go with my Koson stater, but the prices on these denarii keep escalating <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
