That didn't go well for you. Maybe there were just too many coins in the auction at once? Unfortunately, not everything was a bargain. I bid on two Faustina II Denarii. I was outbid on one with just one Swiss franc. Hammer price 251 CHF, the other (fortunately the more important one) I was able to get, but for 240 CHF. -
