<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 6155092, member: 44357&quot;]I agree. I was lucky that a dealer bought it for stock in 2016 and decided to sell it this year and that the 2019 buyer (one of the well-heeled recent entrants to Greek collecting) already bought his. I&#039;d have bid on it in 2016 but I was trying for a lot later in the sale and couldn&#039;t afford to buy both (being able to re-sequence lots in auctions based on personal desires would be ideal: take note, catalogers!) </p><p><br /></p><p>Your point on other coins having sold privately is something that everyone should read as well. X <i>known </i>examples means &quot;publicly known&quot;: many coins have found their way into destination collections over the decades. There isn&#039;t a census and records from dealers are spotty/non-existent. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, there is undoubtedly some collection somewhere which has hundreds of coins each better than anyone has ever seen locked away in some family&#039;s vault for the last 150 years that everyone forgot they owned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
