<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4750499, member: 19463"]Modern collectors who want a coin know that they will be able to find several similar coins and that there is a pretty well established price schedule so only the best coins can get irrational offers. Ancients don't always work that way. It might be a few years before another coin of this type and condition can be found and there are collectors quite willing and able to pay now whatever is necessary for the coin they are seeking. We each will define what coins we want. Many people would like this coin and a few want it bad enough to pay well over what might be considered wise if you are concerned about resale value. Your decision is whether you want the coin for your collection or you would be happier with the $800. I am not a specialist in coins like this so I would not pay the price. If you had the coin I want, that would be a completely different matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
