<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2551185, member: 75525&quot;]I noticed several of the Roman Provincial coins attracted spirited bidding. Not my area, so I drank an extra cup of coffee watching these lots. I was interested in a few RR coins. Unfortunately, the one I thought &quot;surly no one will want this one&quot; and targeted was late in the period. I was wrong. Someone wanted it one bid more than me. Most of the other ones of interest were earlier and I did not bid on them.</p><p>What I wanted:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]548206[/ATTACH] </p><p>this is a good example of a coin that is normally worse!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would have paid more than the hammer on this one, but the successful bidder might have also. It closed before the coin above.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]548207[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What I won was ok, but a step down from the ones above:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]548208[/ATTACH] </p><p>M. Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus. Denarius circa 69 BC</p><p>Obv - Male head (some say Bonus Eventus) r., with flowing hair; behind, scroll (I am not sure I see a scroll behind his head). </p><p>Rev - M·PLAETORI – CEST·EX·S·C Winged caduceus. </p><p>Babelon Plaetoria 5. </p><p>Sydenham 807. </p><p>Crawford 405/5.</p><p>19.5mm., 3.83g. </p><p>Toned.
