<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1534116, member: 26302"]The other wrinkle to Doug's main point, and one he touched on, is there really cannot ever be only one value for a coin. Coins are sold in different marketplaces, with different levels of service and guarantees, for this to really be true. If I buy a coin from a source in Russia versus on Ebay versus walking into Harlan Berks store, I am expecting to pay different prices. They are not quite the same transaction. I know if I ever find out this coin is a fake I can go to the store and get a refund. What do you think my chances are of doing that on something I bought direct or from Ebay 4 years down the road?</p><p><br /></p><p>Like many things in life, you get what you pay for. Now, you should be intelligent and not overpay in whatever venue you wish to buy, but to say a "value" of a coin from a good dealer versus buying it somewhere without any guarantee should be the same, I would disagree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
