<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2384976, member: 19463&quot;]This passes the usual limits of coins going over estimate.&nbsp; Which is it then?&nbsp; Did we all miss something here that two very wealthy bidders saw?&nbsp; Did two want the coin for a reason the rest of us not understand and get into a shoving match?&nbsp; Such a realization does not mean the next coin that comes up will sell as high (if, that is, there is another example).&nbsp; Any sale is the result of who participated in the sale and the next sale can be more or less.&nbsp; I have several coins bought for less than their highest realizations.&nbsp; As someone pointed out, the sheik grade collectors are not famous for hanging around long term.&nbsp; The coin may not sell again until the estate sale of the winner and could then fail to sell for lack of even one bidder.&nbsp; Ancient coins are not like US with guaranteed throngs interested in the relatively few different types.&nbsp; I would like to know the details of this one but I doubt it should be taken as a sign of general upturn in all similar coins.&nbsp; Who has the details?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
