[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 1982309, member: 4298"]I second everything that has been written above If you're OK with spending big bucks on that coin in particular go for it : you will have lot more regrets not to have it than to have spend a big amount on it (as already said, pain isn't for a long time in that case) Starting bid is pointless for appreciating the value : I saw once at an auction a coin I hadn't seen turning around for ages.
