<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 5983231, member: 80952&quot;]Good day ladies and gentleman, </p><p>I was looking at an auction today and one of the coins amazed me. Not necessarily because of conservation, design, rarity (as far as I know), but because of ... price realized. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1244059[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thessaly. Thebai circa 302-286 BC.&nbsp; Trichalkon Æ 22 mm., 7,42 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was not on my wishlist, I was just waiting for the coins I was hunting to go live. It&#039;s a nice coin, described as VF by the auction house (I agree). </p><p><br /></p><p>I found similar coins on different websites and previous auctions, in similar conditions (perhaps slightly more wear) but the price had 2 digits. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin had the hammer price ... with 4 digits in EUR. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there anything I am missing? is this coin rarer than I think? I never judge prices and in my opinion everybody is free to pay however they want, but ... I would like to understand if this is really something extraordinary or just 2 eccentric bidders that wanted it (badly).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
