Deinomenid Posted October 25, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2023 Insufficiently put off by the various Lansky warnings here and elsewhere, I bid last auction. So not this time. I had to chase and chase and chase to get delivery, with some strange excuses given, and the package arrived smelling extremely strongly of cigarettes. I mean extremely. To be fair, the coins did eventually arrive, but life it too short, and the smell was too strong. Congratulations though on a lovely coin. A most unusual surfing event they used to hold! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzerman Posted October 26, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 I got around 10 coins thru Bru/Wellco Gallery 51 Lanksy all same auctions. All the coins were undergraded/ beautifull to behold. Shipping was fast (in my cases)no customs hassles/ they supply excellent provenance too.😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cazador Posted October 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 26, 2023 Everything went for ridiculously high prices except for Poliorketes and Athena New Style Tetradrachms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennos Posted October 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) congratulations it is a very nice coin ! I have already obtained two coins from them in the past. Two nice coins but at a very high price. Now I don't look anymore because most of the coins have very high hidden reserve prices and many of the sales are fake sales. e.g. I know the guy who own the lot 126, the EL-Stater of Cyzicus whith the Scylla. it is supposedly sold for 9500€ (for the third or fourth time) whereas i know the seller wants 20K€ for his coin. not very trustworthy... my advice is: if you bid live against another "internet bidder" , you can keep going, but as soon as you bid against "book order", you should stop. There is a significant risk of facing a hidden reserve price. Edited October 26, 2023 by Brennos 1 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewStyleKing Posted October 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 26, 2023 The Athenian NewStyle was in Good order and a popular one with anchor and star. The price seemed normal nowadays ..expect to see it imprisoned soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the 1 of 2 coins in that auction with fair price, though there is scuff or dent on a cheek of Athena 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
