A Column denarius and a DAC CAP denarius. As I was determined to pay slightly more for them than normal (20-30%) I was 99% sure I will get them (modest conservation). But what do you know, somebody wanted them no matter what. I got carried away and my last bids for the 2 coins were MUCH more than I was comfortable with. Still lost. That was in fact a victory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
