<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 445731, member: 8959&quot;]Thank you all for your input.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike, you make an interesting comment about D. Osburne. In fact, in making my decision to work with him, i had nothing else to go by other than what i had read about him in another large forum. The opinion there was by and large positive, with many people praising him, precisely due to his fair/accurate description of the coins he sells (in spite of not having any pictures to let prospective buyers view the coins).&nbsp; There were, however,&nbsp;&nbsp; a few reservations as well. So all in all my experience with him is of course very limited.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At the same time I was following an 1824 quarter in the September Heritage auction. I bid strongly on an NCS grade specimen in F15 cleaned, and did not get it. It went for over 2.4K!!&nbsp; When i noticed Dick had an ANACS VG8 specimen at a reasonable price, i decided to go for it, and voila.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wish i had been able to afford a better coin, but you cant have it all.&nbsp; I must say however that i find this one quite pleasing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the discrepancy between catalogue and actual prices, this is very marked for the 1824 quarter, particularly over the last 2 years.&nbsp; 2 specimens in yesterdays Heritage auction went likewise for strong money, way over catalogue.&nbsp; I just wish i had bought mine 10 years ago!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
