<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4500159, member: 97383&quot;]Yesterday I sat thru the Greek and Roman Provincial Coinage sections of the auction and was impressed with what I saw. As usual many of the coins sold for way over estimate <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, but there were plenty of bargains for those patient enough to wait <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Below are some of the coins that caught my eye <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie74" alt=":pics:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
