<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7981362, member: 86498&quot;]For me this auction season has been brutal. For the first time in five years I have been shut out of the Triton, The NAC Auction, most of the other good auctions and my normal success rate has gone from winning one coin out of five to perhaps one in twenty. Yikes This year I won seven coins at auction. Okay enough whining. There are many instances in the past where a coin has gone for really unbelievable money. Though I will admit this year there certainly has been an uptick in frequency. Last year I bought this coin</p><p>Tetradrachm of Himera 409-408 BC Obv Nymph driving quadriga right. Rv, Nymph standing left sacrificing over altar. HGC&nbsp; 436&nbsp; 17.46 grms 25 mm&nbsp; Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1385042[/ATTACH]I bought this coin last fall. I thought I paid a lot for it.&nbsp; But as I was researching an article on this coin I thought &quot;Just for fun I want see on AC Search at what time did someone pay more than I did for one of these coins. It was in 2005 and he beat me by about $3 K.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
