<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1746339, member: 112"]Let me show you a rather extreme example of that. The first coin pictured below is one I ran across in an upcoming auction when I was searching for ducats. The coin was not listed in any catalog or book anywhere in the world, an example had never been seen before. It was an off metal strike of a known gold ducat, and thought to be the only one in existence. So I bought it.</p><p> </p><p>Then about 2 years later, guess what ? Yup, I found another one. Bought that one too (2nd pictured). Then only a few months later, another surfaced. And a friend/student of mine bought that example. And then about 6 months later, yet another surfaced to be bought by somebody else.</p><p> </p><p>The lesson - same as you mentioned above <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]273899[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]273900[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]273901[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]273902[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
