<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3240875, member: 93702&quot;]Great coin Orfew - and at a wonderful price. I could not have resisted that deal either (who would?)!!</p><p><br /></p><p>While not in the same universe as your coin I did have things go my way on a couple of occasions:</p><p>I put a small bid on this Crispus coin of only $8... the idea was to remind myself to check back later and see what was happening with it nearer the end of the auction. Well that didn&#039;t work as I forgot about it - but somehow it ended up as high bid.</p><p>I was really happy as I loved the portrait .. he looks a little sly to me.. maybe he was after Dad&#039;s job after all? :</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]848304[/ATTACH]</p><p>RIC vol VII Aquileia 106 R1</p><p>322 AD</p><p>Obv: CRISPVS NOB CAES, bust r.</p><p>Rev: CAESARVM NOSTRORVM around wreath containing VOT X</p><p>Size: 18.95 mm</p><p>Weight: 2.8 grams</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was at a small coin show (almost exclusively moderns) ..

I was happy to oblige and grab this in my 3 coin lot ... $3.33 for a Centaur ain&#039;t bad!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]848318[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
