<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2879924, member: 19463"]Roman Collector makes a good point here. If you were looking for this coin and had to pay what someone who had it was asking, the price might be $20 but if you owned it and wanted to sell it, you would have trouble finding someone to pay $10 unless they were new and believed anything that old has to be worth more than that. Most people who for some reason want this type will prefer a nicer one and not one that RC correctly describes as "common, low-grade, on a ragged flan, and unappealing." I paid $45 for mine a few years ago but would not go that high today. When I bought it, I was impressed by the fact I did not have the type. Now I am more realistic and realize you don't need them all so we might as well hold out for a prettier specimen or a more interesting type.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]690036[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
