<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nvb, post: 3589567, member: 99531&quot;]I&#039;ve got to say the auction house isn&#039;t at fault here.</p><p>They bring in large numbers of mainstream bidders because they have a good reputation and a high profile. Good for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>They state clearly this is a tooled coin and set the estimate and opening bid very low to reflect that. They&#039;ve done their duty as an honest seller.</p><p>Sure they could refuse to sell the coin on principle but where do you draw that line? They have a business to run.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What bothers me is that a large number of bidders - investors, newbies or whoever are seemingly willing to pay top dollar for a tooled coin.</p><p>The last thing we want is for tooling to be profitable because if it is, its just going to become more prevalent and eventually, (barf) more accepted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
