<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 2017923, member: 9204&quot;]There are usually enough bidders in those sales that things go for what they&#039;re actually worth, and often more. If something doesn&#039;t go for estimate, that means it wasn&#039;t worth that much and is probably a problem coin, albeit with the problems accurately described. </p><p><br /></p><p>Steve hit the nail on the head - a low estimate draws in bidders and gets them interested in the lot. Ultimately, this results in better results for the seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>Moral of the story - if a coin sells for opening bid (60% of estimate), whoever estimated the lot didn&#039;t do a good job. That&#039;s usually me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
