Qu'est ce qu'il y a en ce moment en vente ?

There was even a left facing bust « hidden »… I was bidding on lot 117 and 118 and was completely destroyed ! If at least It would have been be in CAD, maybe I could accept the 22% fees. This auction made me wonder WHO is liquidating his collection of the Gallic Empire ?

If it was 22% I probably would have gave it another try.

But with 24 % buyers premium + 3 % online commission + VAT …

Do you think it is a Gallic emperors collection? Seems to me more as hoard/finds/overall collection.
Otherwise I would expect that the specials like the Vic. Divo with lifetime obverse, the Saloninus as August etc. would have been listed separately.

My first impression was that they don’t know much about Gallic coinage… and you’re right about the 24% fees, but I believe VAT only applies on European countries ? A guy on another forum won the Tetricus’ lot with the left facing bust and the Comes brockage for 150 £, a good bargain I think. For me it was the most interesting auction since I collect Gallic coins (I wasn’t there for the 2016 Jacquier’s auction). And by the way Jos, please do not give up on this place or else I’ll feel like the « poor lonesome cowboy » !

Indeed 150 for that lot is a good buy. Also a rare PVAX in that lot.
Tempted to bid but have all the types except the brockage.
And I’ll be your Indian here  

Contrairement à nos amis de CGB, moi je dirais une imitation, surtout avec la légende de revers VIVTVS AVG….

Fully agree (with you)

Il y a bouton pour signaler les erreurs sur la page de la monnaie.
Généralement, ils répondent.

Un achat de groupe, ça vous intéresse? On trouve 60 personnes qui investissent chacun 1000-1500 CHF et le tour est joué !

In the next Roma auction, lot 1309 this Divus Victorinus Ant is in.



For me it looks like it has an obv. die match with this coin I received last week:



This because the bust connecting to the D, strange O, nose of Victorinus.
Would love to hear other opinions / insights.

Best,

Jos

This one from Mairat looks also from the same die:

Pretty sure the Roma coin and your specimen have the same die; not convinced about the Mairat example. And I also found another die with the D connected to the bust, or is it the same as yours ?

Thank you for your opinion and additional specimen (not mine)!
Normally not looking for a die match with this kind of quality; reverse of my coin is however not what is normally expected.
Will open later tonight a new topic for this.

En ce moment sur l'E-Auction 475 de CGB, je ne sais pas qui a fait les id mais c'est pas au top...
Car si on regarde la description ils ne se sont pas trompé c'est bien un buste de victorin donc normalement l'AGK 1c, le plus courant (C2) mais dans la ref ils le décrivent en AGK 1b qui normalement est S mais pour eux ca devient un R2 donc si on fait pas attention on enchérit sur un R2 qui en fait est très courant..

L'AGK 1b pour la différence

Prochain Encan Katz, avec prix de départ à 5 euros; d’après vous, est-ce un original ?

Un seul commentaire : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$&$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

indeed

Petit vox-pop: Achèteriez-vous cette pièce rare mais RÉPARÉE ? Pour la modique somme de 5600 USD…

Was outbid last time and forgot to bid this time

One of you got this lot?

I completely missed that one. Where was it advertised???

Was in their newsletter I received some time ago.
And this is the same lot as offered in their previous auction; then lot 118, closed at GBP 600…

And this time for 240 GBP ? And with a COMES in the lot ? Somebody lost a lot of money or what ?

J’ai parlé à l’heureux gagnant de ce lot hier, il s’agit the Harry G, un collectionneur d’Angleterre qui est particulièrement doué pour découvrir des monnaies rares que personne d’autre ne remarque. Voici son commentaire à propos de cette dernière acquisition : « Yes, that's the one! I can't imagine why the previous buyer chose not to keep the coins (as well as several other lots that came up for sale). Some of the other lots went for considerably less than they did last time - I would have picked up more if I had the funds! ».

C'est là où réside tout le plaisir de prospecter
Félicitations à l'heureux acquéreur !

Il est probable que le vendeur ne savait pas ce qu'il avait entre les mains ou que l'ancien propriétaire était pressé par le temps.

On voit souvent des successions où les héritiers donnent procuration à des maisons de ventes aux enchères "généralistes", pour disperser des collections afin de régler l'affaire rapidement. (On voit les monnaies regroupés en lot en vrac dans des sachets )

Ça y est; la vente annuelle Jacquier’s est de retour. Des belles pièces dans le collimateur ???

C'est très tentant, oui.
