<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 3711515, member: 19615&quot;]These results are a valuable demonstration of the truism that understanding the ancient coin market is more art than science. Examining the hammer prices of &quot;comparable&quot; examples is no doubt a useful component of a successful strategy, but it&#039;s probably best if &quot;comps&quot; are the <i>last </i>thing looked at rather than the first. As the OP just discovered, a strategy comprised <i>only</i> of &quot;comps&quot; is worse than useless. Hence the scare quotes around &quot;comps&quot;... because ultimately <b>there are no true comps</b> in ancient coins. The most you&#039;ll find are reasonable approximations; often enough you won&#039;t even find that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
