<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2667819, member: 76194"]I think it's sad that the lots (ie. Coins they can't be bothered to list individually) are the type of coins 95% of us in this thread would go crazy for and would generate a lot of interest here. Let's face it, we are peasants to the target audience for this auction. Oh well, at least the field of ancient coins has a lot of nice stuff to offer even to us peasants.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those lots broken down by the winners and offered individually at Agora Auctions and other auction houses that cater mostly to us average peasants. I know if I was a dealer that's what I'd be hunting after in this auction... those nice coins in lots that would do well at smaller auctions but would get overlooked by the big fish bidding at this auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: Anyone notice all those Trajan Decius and family coins for sale? Looks like a nice sizeable release of them into the market will be under way now that the big wig collector (hoarder) of them has decided to start selling his collection. This is a nice start...I hope he releases lots more soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can't wait for the day to arrive when a hoarder of Augustus coins to decide to sell his collection/or for his family to sell them and to see hundreds of them flood the market. At least that's what I keep hoping for so I can get me a decent one at a good price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
