[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8194792, member: 91461"]Wonderful observations, as always. Thanks Doug:bookworm: I would like to say that I'm not trying to, nor would I as they are one of my favorites, wrong Tauler & Fau. I don't want it to seem that I'm lampooning the auction house so much as the market for ancients today. And frankly this bizzaro world we are living in: [ATTACH=full]1435330[/ATTACH] And even more specifically, what world are people living in that it's OK to pay $400 on a tooled coin? You've, rightly, mentioned that nobody should pay more than, I believe it was, half for a fourée. In the new ancient world of collecting copycats and forgers what percent is a toolie? Speaking of black cabinets (shudders thinking of Museums full) I 1000% appreciate [USER=307]@mikenoodle[/USER] and Aaron Berk for not only being so transparent about what they do with fakes we even get to see top level fakes to help adjust our eyes:singing: [MEDIA=youtube]HhvHb59Me4Y[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]
