<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4801357, member: 19463"]All this would be unnecessary if they would publish minimum bids rather than estimates. Of course that would still run foul of those lots with hidden reserves higher than 60% of the estimate but it would be less confusing. I do wish they would publish a summary of lots that sold under estimate so we could feel bad we missed them. </p><p><br /></p><p>This may be the best advice on the subject. If you don't understand why one coin sells for twice another, you probably should spend more time studying and less time bidding. There are other sellers that regularly estimate coins at twice what anyone would pay and end up with a pile of unsolds that get wholeesaled to little dealers. I must have bought dozens of coins from the late Don Zauche at shows that were in recognizable flaps trimmed down to remove the name of the sale (which was easy enough to track using acsearch - a very useful tool). I prefer the CNG method.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
