<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 8238293, member: 80952&quot;][USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] - thanks, but there was no mention about any of my coins on this thread <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Great coins, all, and for me one of the the most pleasant designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>A column denarius was one of my major targets.</p><p>In summer I participated in an auction where a decent (for my very indulgent standards) Column denarius was listed. For some reason, there was a bidding war on it. Although I was willing to overpay and my final bid was, in my opinion, already too much, I lost it. Disappointing. However, after a few lots another Column appeared. I didn&#039;t see it when preparing the wish list. Not too many people saw it either.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449700[/ATTACH]</p><p>Trajan AD 98-117.
