<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 1923933, member: 44210&quot;]Was going to add this to my post from earlier but edit time ran out.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Because you are probably used to collecting more &quot;flawless&quot; coins. More perfect examples easily go for $1000+. And the gold, unless you are a millionaire, you can forget about those. That is how rare these last few emperors are. And last time I checked, rarity can definitely add to price. Pretty much outside of a very lucky uncleaned lot, you won&#039;t find any being sold for under $300, even the bronzes. One, because there is&nbsp; enough demand from specialists to keep the prices up and two, they don&#039;t come up for sale often. CNG amazingly has not one but two being auctioned at the moment, with the one sightly worse than mine trailing not far behind what I paid for mine and the other better-condition one at slightly more. All this is with <i>11 days to go</i>, so I have no doubt the bidding will go up some more. Also, the bronze types already sold over the years sold at higher prices, even those hardly in better shape than mine that had been sold 7-8 years ago. All this leads me to believe that I actually got a decent deal on mine (btw I didn&#039;t buy my example at the original listed price that you saw).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
