<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2850168, member: 57495&quot;]My most recent purchase in this price bracket is a type I&#039;ve wanted ever since I first saw it.&nbsp; It&#039;s an interesting example of how loopy the demand and supply curve gets with ancients sometimes, and how prices for a relatively little known type can vary wildly within a short space of time.&nbsp; In this case, it seems that a few people really wanted the type some years ago and paid through the nose to get their examples, and presently, the market is well and truly sated... </p><p><br /></p><p>My example cost me $98 shipped from the most recent CNG auction, where 6 years ago <a href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=185820" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=185820" rel="nofollow">this example </a>offered at the same venue went for $575 before fees, and <a href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=242855" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=242855" rel="nofollow">this one</a> in 2013 went for $1900!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]676249[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>THESSALY, Pherai. </b></p><p><b><i>Alexander.
