<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mdr, post: 112204, member: 3563&quot;]Dear Lev,GDJMSP, Speedy, The_Cave_Troll, Cait and lawdogct,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently saw on the Goldberg Coins website:</p><p><a href="http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvulot.pl?site=1&amp;sale=34&amp;lot=2410" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvulot.pl?site=1&amp;sale=34&amp;lot=2410" rel="nofollow">http://www.mkjassociates.com/cgi-bin/ilgvulot.pl?site=1&amp;sale=34&amp;lot=2410</a> </p><p>a coin like mine posted.&nbsp; It sold for $42,500.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A buddy of mine told me that some some auction houses give the whole bid price to the seller and add a commission of 20% which they bill to the bidder.&nbsp; So in the case of the 1880 coin, the seller gets $42,500 and the buyer has to cough up and additional&nbsp; $8,500. Does the buyer end up paying $51,000 for the coin?</p><p>Is this possible???</p><p><br /></p><p>My coin was just brought to the US and a relative is going to have it slabbed at PCGS. I was told that if it got a grade higher than AU (the grade of the recently auctioned 1880) I could expect to get an even better price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the Ira and Goldberg Coins and Collectibles Inc. a reputable firm?</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
