You are right , if I am at home , I allways wait for the last moment of the sale to make my bid . I also prefer the sales of the big houses , it is often cheaper than ebay , quality is better and you have a better description . I ve paid this lot about €200 (US$220) by Numismatik Naumann . albert |

I know next to nothing of these types but compared to many other late antiquity issues they appear to me to be XF
Dare I say it ...... "museum quality" !

I love the one on the top left... especially the portrait and retrograde S in the legend! Excellent pick-ups! I was eyeballing a siliqua of the Vandals on ebay (in lesser quality than these) and it went well over $150 by itself. |
