<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5303765, member: 97383"]Let's be honest, a coin from an established hoard will almost always sell for more than a coin of equal quality that isn't from a hoard <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. There is a mystique with hoard coins versus coins from a dealer's stock, regardless how old the hoard is. If the hoard is large eventually the average value of the coin type will drop, as seen with the huge influx of Owls on the market today. We know most of the Owls on the market today are from the undisclosed (probably illegal) hoard allegedly discovered somewhere in Turkey. The sad thing with these current Owls on the market today is collectors will never be able to say positively that they came from this undisclosed hoard. The current hoard of LRBs found near Alsace, France has stirred a lot of interest in the common coins found in that hoard, & collectors are paying a hefty premium for those coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
