Ancient Gold on Heritage

I decided to consign some of my duplicates to the Heritage CICF auction. Here are the links - let me know if you have any questions about them!

Antoninus Pius Aureus
Nero Aureus
Arsinoe II Octadrachm

Heritage did a good job on the images. The octadrachm has considerably more luster in-hand, the Antoninus Pius is just a stunning coin, and the Nero is a relatively rare type for him with an attractive portrait.

Some provenance information: I bought the Nero and Octadrachm from Harlan J. Berk, and the Antoninus Pius aureus came from a Goldberg auction.

    If I had the cash on hand I would throw a few bids out. Some real stunners.

    Huge fan of the huge Octadrachm.

    Yep, I don't know much about Ancients but that Arsinoe octadrachm is a stunning coin! Good luck in the auction and I'm sure the winning bid will be much higher!

    Best Regards,

    I just enjoyed a brief daydream about having the money to bid strongly on those.

    It won't happen in this lifetime, but thanks for the window-shopping opportunity and good luck! image

    Goes without sayin' those are breathtaking coins.

    If memory serves, you had TWO Antoninus Pius aureii, right? So that isn't your avatar coin for sale?

    Thanks image The sale did well and I actually had three Antoninus Pius aurei but have just sold off two of them, leaving my avatar as my remaining example of the benevolent emperor!
