<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2308594, member: 44316&quot;]I know it is a free country and firms can open lots at any price they want--we are not forced to bid. But, putting an $800 opening bid on a Constantine campgate with bad surfaces (a $10 coin) is an indication of something negative.</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/294312/Ancient-Roman-Empire-Constantine-I-AD-307-337-AE3-BI-Nummus-333g-Cyzicus-NGC-MS" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/294312/Ancient-Roman-Empire-Constantine-I-AD-307-337-AE3-BI-Nummus-333g-Cyzicus-NGC-MS" rel="nofollow">http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/294312/Ancient-Roman-Empire-Constantine-I-AD-307-337-AE3-BI-Nummus-333g-Cyzicus-NGC-MS</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They should be ashamed to be associated with such offerings. If the consignor decides, they should decline that part of the consignment. Too many buyers are not well-informed about value and professional firms should not make a practice of offering coins at many multiples of true &quot;value,&quot; possibly benefitting from someone else&#039;s error. I see an issue of trust here. I would like to be able to trust dealers from whom I buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is hard to trust a firm that allows such blatant misrepresentation of value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
