<p>[QUOTE="abc123, post: 4518754, member: 103687"]Thank you for your participation in this discussion group and providing some additional insight into CNG’s practices, [USER=112660]@MSG 78[/USER] (Mike). I have followed CNG auctions for many years and have been a successful bidder in a couple of them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I’ve often felt the CNG auction estimates were too low compared to final hammer but your explanation now puts the estimate in the proper context. For what it is worth I would not change a thing. The current system of setting an estimate as you do and starting bid based on 60% of that value is a successful system. If it ain't broke, don’t fix it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll also echo the sentiments shared before that CNG is one of the premier auction houses. The coin quality, informative descriptions, historical notes, clear photos, conservative grading, calling out of coin issues (smoothing, tooling, etc), customer service, online research archive, etc. all have cemented a positive reputation in the industry. I hope you continue to build upon this legacy in the years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I have followed CNG auctions for many years and have been a successful bidder in a couple of them :-) I’ve often felt the CNG auction estimates were too low compared to final hammer but your explanation now puts the estimate in the proper context. For what it is worth I would not change a thing. The current system of setting an estimate as you do and starting bid based on 60% of that value is a successful system. If it ain't broke, don’t fix it. I’ll also echo the sentiments shared before that CNG is one of the premier auction houses.
