I picked up a few last week in the Heritage sales, although I missed out on all the British pieces I was interested in when they went for crazy money. Overall though I though the prices were pretty reasonable and people could have gotten some good deals. I was able to pick up a couple of Ancients, one German states piece and one Italian, I love the historical context of the Ancients.

1626 Stolberg Stolberg Taler in AU58, really quite a difficult coin in anything above VF, this is the only one graded for the year and only one graded higher in the whole type.

 

 

1848 M Provisional Government Lombardy Venetia 5 Lira, short stems version. I don't collect Italian but have always liked this design and was finally able to get one with the look I like.
