<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1459427, member: 3726"]I think Doug covered it really well. I can tell you from my recent Heritage auction that the coins I bought a few years back did as heritage expect, but not what I hoped for. I can tell you when I bought the coins I did a bunch of research before buying the coins. Now other than those coins I did really well on some, but the ones where I chose to pay a premium to get a coin I wanted did not cover the premium. And some got close. At the same time I had several do so well I was trying to figure out why - could have just be two people caught up in the auction. For example I had a 1926 buff nickel MS66 buffalo nickel that I paid 375 for - it was a very nice nickel and it was a very nice strike - it hammered at 900. If I could figure out how to do that on all my coins I would be rich. The others were about the same - while very nice coins and well struck I just could not figure out why so high. These coins were bought retail - 1 from the penny lady, 3 from Harlan and 1 from Northeast. I think that is right places. Now I am trying to figure out if I can do it again - all were purchases within the last year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
