Unlisted / Constantine I anepigraphic from Nicomedia
« Last post by Victor on April 10, 2024, 11:05:01 AM »
this coin has a workshop not listed in RIC. It sold for quite a price also-- £1,100 in the latest Roma auction...quite a bump from 180 euros in a Sol auction in 2023.

Constantine I ‘the Great’ BI Nummus. Nicomedia, AD 324-325. Laureate head to right / CONSTANTINVS AVG in three lines; wreath above, SMNΓ below. RIC VII 98 var. (mintmark); Leu 25, 2893. 2.04g, 18mm, 12h.

Not the best condition, but an interesting type that is fairly rare.

CONSTANTINVS NOB CAES; Laureate, helmeted and cuirassed bust right, pointing spear downwards with right hand, holding two spears and shield with left.
VIRTVS AVGG ET CAESS N N; Mars, helmeted, advancing right and holding spear and trophy

here is a nicer example for comparison that looks like a die match

Late Roman Bronze coins / Re: What am I missing?!
« Last post by Heliodromus on April 02, 2024, 07:53:32 AM »
If you click on the bidding history it shows 4 bidders, one topped out at EUR 5, one at EUR 20, then the remaining two pushing it to final EUR 1200 (took a lot of bid increments to get there).

The winning bidder submitted their bid about an hour before the lot closed, so must have been a pre-bid or proxy bid. The underbidder looks like they started bidding when the lot went live, so probably a live bidder.

So either doofus pre/proxy mid meets doofus live bidder, or doofus pre-bid and shenanigans (it was the pre/proxy bidder that won).

This was a bidding war.

Maybe it was a war between automatic scripts / snipers? It occurred even on stock market when "AI" went mad.

Plus there were 62 bids, which in itself is ridiculous for this coin. This was a bidding war.
