<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3588612, member: 75525&quot;]I had a good time watching parts of a couple of auctions. I have done this for many years, but still have some things to learn. I was late to one and bid too early in a timed auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Auction #1 started at 3PM CET. I googled the start time in Houston and the first result said 9AM. Turns out the auction started at 8AM my time. I did not enter daylight savings time in the conversion &amp; the auction was 40 minutes old instead of me being early. As luck would have it the lot I wanted most was late enough that I was able to bid, and win a sigma nut. This is my 4th coin of the first cast coin series in Vecchi.</p><p>[ATTACH]958552[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]958553[/ATTACH] </p><p>Dioscuri/Mercury series.

I wanted two or three lots, but would be out of the house when my lots ended. I bid early on one and won a 2 ounce weight to fit between the one and 3 ounce weights I have.</p><p>[ATTACH]958572[/ATTACH] </p><p>2 oz late Roman or early Byzantine weight</p><p>[ATTACH]958579[/ATTACH]</p><p>The top right weight is 3 VNCIA or ounces and the next row are 1 ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I missed on a second lot in this auction when I bid with 20 seconds left and another bidder made 2 bids to exceed mine. I can not say I was Clioed when the other bidder was willing to pay more than me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope others had a good coin weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
