<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 2973684, member: 87080&quot;]While killing time on Vcoins this morning I came across a hemidrachm of Ptolemy IV </p><p>[ATTACH=full]730132[/ATTACH] </p><p>While a nice coin, it does have some adjustment marks on the reverse. Still, I looked the look of the coin. The seller was asking $230, which I thought was high, so i decided to see what previous hemidrachms of Ptolemy IV had sold for on CNG.&nbsp; I tend to think of them as a good gauge of market prices. As I said, I had plenty of time to kill this morning.&nbsp; Sure enough, there it was:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]730133[/ATTACH] </p><p>No question about it, the exact same coin.&nbsp; It sold in a CNG eAuction back in 2015, final hammer price $70. Even with CNG&#039;s 15% fee and shipping it still might have been under $100 in total.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m curious what other CT members think. Is this a coin that slipped under the radar in CNG&#039;s eAuction or a decent coin that is over priced?Buying coins from CNG then doubling the price would seem to be a poor business model. I&#039;m not sure a dealer would stay in business long doing that, or at least sell many coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
