Furryfrog02 Posted August 25, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2023 Did anyone bid and/or win any lots from the Tiber Numismatic Auction 1 on biddr recently? I kinda went crazy and ended up with 18 coins....Nothing crazy but I got some that were really interesting to me. I got my package today and was much happier with my purchases in hand than after I had paid my invoice and had some serious buyer's regret. David is a real nice guy. I've met him at the Baltimore Whitman show a couple of times and purchased a few coins from him. I was glad to see him finally get an online presence and was happy to get some wins. I'm looking forward to his next auction, though I don't think I will be making as many bids. Mrs. Frog wouldn't be too happy with me. If anyone won anything please feel free to share 🙂 These are the first 3 coins I have got pictures of and the 3 I was most interested in winning. I will work on imaging and posting the others as soon as I have time. Bithynian Kingdom Prusias I AE 23mm/6.00g Obverse: Diademed head of Zeus right, Nike Counterstamp Reverse: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠΡOYΣIOY, thunderbolt within wreath; K monogram left M.

CPK Posted August 25, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2023 Nice coins! I had a couple on my watch list but didn't bid on anything. I need to sell some coins before I do much more buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Collector Posted August 26, 2023 · Patron Share Posted August 26, 2023 Nice coins, @Furryfrog02. I am focusing exclusively on the coinage of Antonine women at present and he didn't have anything I could use for my collection. The winners of the two denarii of Faustina the Elder got a decent deal on each of them, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it is about the limes denarii but I think they are really interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Anthos Posted August 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) I've known all along that I would have to sell off eventually, but now that I'm retired the dilemma is real... which of my children do I sell first? I have all but certainly bought my last coin, unless I find a nice Vlasto 1 for which I could always sell a kidney. But 'liquidating' is such a scarey word! ~ Peter Hope Edited August 26, 2023 by Phil Anthos Add image 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Anthos Posted August 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) ha! Well I haven't really decided yet. Probably my Romans first though. ~ Peter Edited August 26, 2023 by Phil Anthos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
