<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4518620, member: 19463"]What you missed is CNG sold that coin for the ridiculous price and it appeared shortly thereafter in the stock of a dealer at 1/3 the listed CNG sale price. Certainly the coin is a terrible specimen but most of the Carausius coins for Diocletian have poor centering and bad surfaces. CNG lists having sold only a half dozen of these over the Internet years with most being better and cheaper. The point was that estimates are worthless but an acceptable starting price is clear unless you are using hidden reserves so the actual acceptable start price is not revealed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
