Most of the pieces are in poor condition, but they are still all very interesting coins.

many of coins in the holmes collection have been sold at ridiculously low prices....
Congratulation

Yes! At the end of the auction I was in this mood:



For ex my Saloninus/Postumus ant was sold for 900€ by Jacquier auction on 2015 and now I bought it for only 85$ (76€)... a very ridiculously low price!!!
