<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2707664, member: 19463"]My recent experiences with large lots has been good but I will point out that you are at a severe disadvantage to people who visit them and look at the coins. If you see something in the photo that makes you think you know more than the people to actually see the coins, go for it. I am dying to get home and be able to research what some group lots in Berk's last sale brought. Being away and on poor/spotty connections kept me from bidding on some lots today but I am generally happy if I assume the worst and bid low. In big sales, sleepers tend to get spotted. My experience with CNG is that they do not play evil games showing only the best coins but no one is going to show the lesser side of the worst coins in a group. </p><p><br /></p><p>Large lots can be anything. I paid over estimate for a few in Triton XX and am relieved that no one else wanted them. Whenever you win a coin, you are the guy who would pay more and that does not seem like a way to find bargains when you have not seen the coins and the competition has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
