<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8323996, member: 86498"]I cannot say just how far I have gone over the estimates as I generally ignore them. I tend to look at the coin and try to assess what I think it is worth to me. There have been a number times lately that I thought that the opening was too high. I did push one coin to 15 times its estimate but did not get it. This happened in the NYINC auctions and I was bidding in my own mind rather insanely. On a number of different coins during those auctions I bed on a number of coins to levels I thought were stupid and lost every one of them. Oddly the only coins I won, I thought I got them at a reasonable amount. Curious. I did push this one to slightly over double estimate but I really liked it</p><p>Nagidos Ar Stater 333-323 BC Obv Head of Dionysos right wearing wreath of ivy. Rv. Head of Aphodite right.
