[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 6461649, member: 98035"]Some fantastic bargains in this thread! Some favorites of mine: Kyme Aiolis AR "trihemiobol" - Common as a hemiobol but unique as a larger fraction - previously sold by Roma for £220+BP then showed up in a Leu lot, average $41/coin [ATTACH=full]1257926[/ATTACH] Same lot, Cilicia unattributable satrapal AR obol, possibly finest known of type, sold for $300[ATTACH=full]1257953[/ATTACH] Ditto, sold for $250 [ATTACH=full]1257954[/ATTACH] This is one of the finest-style Gupta drachms I've ever seen, and IMO a steal for $15 in a no-reserve ebay auction [ATTACH=full]1257929[/ATTACH] Axum, Aphilas AR (possibly still) gilt unit, bought in an ebay lot for less than $3/coin, and most other coins in that lot were worth $10+ [ATTACH=full]1257930[/ATTACH] Quinctillus Varus as governor of Africa, AE "As", bought individually and poorly described as "Augustus with Gaius and Lucius" for about $500 - comparable examples have seldom hammered for less than several thousand dollars [ATTACH=full]1257938[/ATTACH] Perhaps my best lot was this one from CNG [ATTACH=full]1257985[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1258015[/ATTACH] Paid $250ish for the lot, kept the Carausius, Saloninus, and Tacitus, and sold the rest for over $800[/QUOTE]
