<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7950732, member: 115909&quot;]They are real. I contacted Sarah M. at HA and she said that the offers made are binding offers just like when someone makes a bid on an auction. So people can&#039;t just make offers and then change their minds and not follow through. If the offer is accepted the person who made the offer is obligated to follow through. Just like if I bid on an item at auction and won. I would be obligated to pay the winning bid I made. I couldn&#039;t just change my mind and not pay or my account would be closed and I would be prohibited from participating in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I didn&#039;t accept the offer is because mine has a large flan and was struck with high relief dies (particularly the reverse) for this particular coin. It would be difficult for me to find a similar coin for less.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1377438[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe it or not the difference between a coin struck with high relief dies and one not struck with high relief dies can be huge price-wise. Just take a look at high relief St. Gaudens Double Eagles.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s true there are other MS Athenian Owl Tetradrachms that have sold for less but the majority of them either have oddly shaped flans or they were not struck in high relief and are just normal strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
