These coins will trade at the bargain prices at the time of purchase and at the time of sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the coins in my collection were purchased at substantial premium to the established price guides. They will most likely sell at a premium as well because they are coins with exceptional eye appeal. How much of a premium is based upon how much another collector is willing to pay at that time. I will lose money sometimes and make money sometimes. I don't think it is a guarantee, but I think that coins that sell at a premium have a much greater potential to make money because it is dependent upon how much another collector values the coin. The bargain coins are more dependent upon a shift in the price guide value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
