<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3251012, member: 19463&quot;]This is great news for those looking for some of these coins.&nbsp; I was hoping Sev would not feel pressured to take a loss on these coins. I suppose the 120% guarantee was a good idea in attracting consignments but none of us benefit from driving a new source of coins into the poorhouse.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have to disagree here but just a little.&nbsp; Many sales have pick bin sections but they are not labeled.&nbsp; Sales like the big boys have hype the $four digit coins but include lesser coins as well some of which are ignored by the people who can only tolerate the very finest.&nbsp; The problem here is the bidder has to sort out the $100 coins going for $60 from the $50 coins started at $60 because that particular dealer does not bother with cheap coins no matter how nice they might be.&nbsp; Where does one get such sorting ability?&nbsp; Coin Talk is one place.&nbsp; Studying the results of past sales like AMCC1 or the Robinson, Triskles, etc. offerings is another.&nbsp; You can learn more from seeing which lots did not sell than you can from how high a price the finest brought.&nbsp; The results for the finest coins show what happens when two people with lots of money bump heads.&nbsp; Unsolds force you to ask why.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It most certainly does.&nbsp; That coin has a lot going for it and should have gone higher were it not for the bit heavy handed &#039;sand patina&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
