<p>[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 6325659, member: 91461"]I don't know if I have seen an ancient coin auction sell so few of the coins up for sale as I did watching yesterday's BAC auction. I counted only 37 ancient coins sold out of 317 that were up for auction!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> That's nearly selling 1 in 10 coins they paid to put up!</p><p>The prices were high. But with the market being so high right now for ancients it was not prohibitivly so. On many (I won a dream coin/bucket lister that I will share when it gets to me) they were just a bit below where you would think they would sell for (I won mine at opening bid price!). None of the coins looked fake. Photos weren't great. But that often has the counterintuitive effect of getting folks to buy hoping they look better in hand. And there were some nice rarities. I couldn't find any negative reviews on the auction house.</p><p>So what gives? Has anyone purchased from BAC before?
