What to make of Cederlind price on coin insert from CNG

One thing Bruce McNall was able to do was to talk to people who did not have to ask prices. His book talks about buyers who never even took possession of the coins but just left them with him.

People differ. I left the gym today, bent over and picked up 23 cents someone dropped in the parking lot. The guy that dropped it probably was too tired to bother. I have known a few people to whom $1600 has about the same proportion to their net worth that 23 cents has to this pensioner. Remember when the Sheikh was butting heads with the Internet magnate a few years back?

We need to get over the concept that there is a single number that describes what a coin is worth. Depending on who cares, who bids and who needs cash (and needs it now), $1600 and $600 are the same number. Any given salesday...

Does it not bother anyone that this coin has a flat spot on the shield from the dent on the amphora that no dealer felt the need to mention? I think this is a lovely coin and I would love to have it but I can see some buyer seeing this as damage and not bidding. The difference between one interested bidder and two can be thousands. Am I wrong? Is there a die dupe that will show whether that dent is damage or design? What made that dent? Lets describe it as a tooth mark and sell it to a dentist.
