[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 24585992, member: 95174"]I have been working more and more since the end of the pandemic, less time to look for new coins and less time to spend on the hobby in general. I have made a few purchases this year and I have got some really nice deals. I bought a 15 coin lot from a non ancient auction house for under $500.00 it contained purchases made from CNG and Leu still in the flips, the previous owner had paid over 3k for the purchases, I got it for 400 plus buyers fees. This was one of my favorites from the group transaction. [ATTACH=full]1561153[/ATTACH] Other than that, I noticed a coin yesterday that sold in 2020 for 6k, It was a coin from the Bendall collection and its final bid yesterday was only 3k. Another coin from the same ruler but partial gold that had been sold in 2019 for 12k sold for 18k. So an auction is not the true value of the coin, it is the true cost of a coin that day, that moment. I think we are seeing fewer buyers but more particular about the coin and the desire to add it to the collectors' collecting goals.[/QUOTE]
