<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2291620, member: 19463&quot;]There are lots and there are <u>lots</u>.&nbsp; If you buy a lot from the back of a sale that is overall too good for you like the upcoming Triton sale remainders of the BCD collection ( grouped as 200-600 coins per lot) you will get some coins that make you look like a specialist in a subject you couldn&#039;t name today.&nbsp; Similarly their 170+ denarii lot is probably better coins than most I own.&nbsp; If you buy a lot of things that previously failed to sell on eBay, your experience will differ.&nbsp; Usually good lots seem to go higher than I can see paying and will be bought by a dealer or dealer wannabe who plans to resell them for five times a reasonable price.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&amp;CONTAINER_NAME=&amp;ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=&amp;ITEM_DESC=large+lots&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&amp;VIEW_TYPE=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&amp;CONTAINER_NAME=&amp;ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=&amp;ITEM_DESC=large+lots&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&amp;VIEW_TYPE=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;ITEM_INVENTORY_NUMBER=&amp;CONTAINER_NAME=&amp;ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=&amp;ITEM_DESC=large+lots&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&amp;VIEW_TYPE=0</a></p><p>The above search for large lots shows what some high end groups have included in the past.&nbsp; A few were named hoards and went for much above the value of the coins without that provenance.&nbsp; A few are groups of a hundred coins of the same type.&nbsp; There are groups of ten very much alike at ~$400 a coin.&nbsp; If I were looking for a lot, none of those would strike me as my style.&nbsp; There are others that seem interesting but at what price???&nbsp; I find these things interesting to look at but I&#039;d rather chase individuals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
