<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1023010, member: 19463&quot;]...and now a fair question: If something is &quot;worth $75&quot; but no one is willing actually to pay $75 what is it worth? Dealers have to consider how much time they will be willing to tie up their cash while waiting for someone to pay for a coin they are considering buying. Collectors have to consider whether a coin has a place in their collection either permanently or until they can upgrade. I suppose it is inappropriate here to ask who would be willing to pay $75 for the lesser set so I&#039;ll only ask that we each ask ourselves at what price we would want to add those coins to our collection. If I were a dealer I would not want to make an offer of $10 for something &quot;worth $75&quot; for fear of offending what might be a potential future customer so I would not make any offer unless it could be &#039;fair&#039; to both parties. I stand by my estimate of $30 but I would not want them at that price because they don&#039;t fit my collecting needs and I&#039;m not a dealer. Unlike modern US coins, the market for ancients is very much the same as for shoes - not everyone wants designer Italian alligator loafers in size 16 even at half a fair price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
