<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1887038, member: 19463"]I do not know if Berk does it or not but it is not all that uncommon to see coins in 'name brand' flips with prices that were never paid by anyone. There is one dealer in particular that places high prices on flips and then sells the coins he can't sell to other (smaller) dealers many of whom don't reflip the coins because it looks good to show you are selling the coin for half the old price. Sometime we see examples of coins that sold for high prices that later actually do sell for a fraction; sometimes it is just marketing. I enjoy reading Frank Robinson's list where he sometimes even mentions that a coin he is selling is in a flip marked some ridiculous number. Remember just because a dealer wrote a number on a flip does not mean he ever really thought he would get that price. He can dream, can't he?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
