<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4873910, member: 19463&quot;]Selling ancient coins for more than they are worth is the definition of the coin business.&nbsp; The question is whether the coin dealer must act as a fiduciary keeping the best interest of his clients in mind or whether he is allowed to tell them anything he wishes to get them too buy.&nbsp;&nbsp; People here complain when CNG estimates a coin for $100 and it sells for $1000.&nbsp;&nbsp; HR-LP attacks the problem from the opposite end.&nbsp; He offers $100 coins for $1000 an sees if anyone bites.&nbsp; Failing that, he offers it lower.&nbsp; Of the 19,000 current coins, some are shown at their unreduced prices.&nbsp; Can you prove that the reduced ones never were?&nbsp; I have, over the years bought several coins from him at prices below his sale prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>CNG sold the coin below for $460 plus fees:</p><p><a href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=164136" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=164136" rel="nofollow">https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=164136</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A couple years later, I bought it from HR-LP for $175 postpaid.&nbsp; Most of you would not pay that price for that coin and think I am a fool.&nbsp; Both sellers correctly identified the coin.&nbsp; Whatever the source, I recommend paying what you believe is appropriate and just walking away from the rest.&nbsp; That coin was worth that price to me on that day for reasons I understand.&nbsp; I do not believe CNG should have to apologize for taking the $460 nor HR-LP for taking $175 for an off center LRB.&nbsp; They both are in the business of selling coins for more than they are worth.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1177210[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
