<p>[QUOTE="MSG 78, post: 4520529, member: 112660"]Me too - floored. I used to look at a lot of the smaller European auctions to see if maybe I could pick up a coin or two for stock. It rarely happens any more. Even the smaller auction firms are generating strong prices. And many of these coins are ones that might sit in a US dealers inventory for months on end. The market in the past year or so has been strong everywhere. I hope this is a sign of the ancient coin field having some growth. But I often think to myself, I wonder how disenchanted this or that buyer will be when they find no one will offer them anywhere near what they just paid for a coin. I especially worry about this with high grade but incredibly common slabbed coins that sell for multiples of what they are worth to uninformed buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
