<p>[QUOTE="Eukratides, post: 4514315, member: 76694"]I can say that as mainly a Seleucid collector, that the wealthy collectors in my field try to buy essentially every interesting coin on the market. There is very little left for the average collector unless you want to spend an absurd amount. There have also been two major published collections bought in their entirety before even entering the market by a main player. It’s a very difficult, and increasingly impossible situation for collectors of normal means. Let’s not forget the Gorny sale earlier this year that mirrored the CNG results, if not exceeded. This doesn’t bode well for the ability of collectors of normal means to compete. The auction companies are certainly not at fault as it is their job to generate the top prices the market will yield. But, it doesn’t change the fact that the market has turned to the detriment of we little guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
