<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3016302, member: 19463&quot;]This makes me wonder if this lot was consigned by someone who realized the coin was special but the auction house did not consider it worthy of separate listing and put it in a group of what they considered similarly worthless coins?&nbsp; Had the coin been written up as what you recognized it to be, it alone would have realized several times what the lot did. </p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago I had the opportunity to buy coins from the estate of a collector who exceeded most of us in seeing things others might miss.&nbsp; I bought a few coins and later discovered something that had not been described by the dealer that handled the sale.&nbsp; This makes me wonder how many &#039;special&#039; coins get recognized and then lost to recognition when they are resold by those who do not care or have the time to examine properly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
