<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2600245, member: 75525&quot;]I agree that what a coin (or cast bronze item like a bar) brings at auction is a function of what the second high bidder is willing to pay. If only one person wants the piece, the price is closer to the opening bid, or the lot is unsold. The dealer, or auctioneer, must find a price to get the bidding started. If the auction house is lucky, two or more want the same item. Coins of Julius Caesar bring a good price not because of their rarity, but because lots of people want them. </p><p>I have been looking for a couple of years for a coin with a plumb bob. When one came to auction this year, I paid much more than for other examples of the same coin. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]567440[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH]567443[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]567444[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
