<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2308479, member: 19463&quot;]Thank you very much.&nbsp; This larger group was informative and entertaining telling a lot about the various grading services.&nbsp; There were a few coins that even cheapskate me would have bid more than the realization.&nbsp; There were things I did not know existed like a Ch XF with 1/5 surfaces but a few very nice mid grade coins that got no respect from the bidders.&nbsp; This link certainly gives a different view of the site than that of the 89 (up from 45 since last I looked) current offerings.&nbsp; I suggest others of the CT ancients community might benefit from looking at these sold items.&nbsp; I am not suggesting it would be a productive place to shop but the results show a lot about a corner of the market in our hobby that we do not ordinarily see. I was amazed at the number of coins selling for less than the standard slab fee.&nbsp; I enjoyed the one error I found on a slab (not an NGC).&nbsp; Overall it was an interesting bit of time spent looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
