[QUOTE="pprp, post: 7828752, member: 94602"]This is indeed very annoying. You have one person companies/ dealers buying at auctions, now on top you get big auction houses doing the same.

Coming to the omission of the edge filling and the 2/5 surface, it should have been mentioned in the description. That's why one needs to always research before buying a coin. On the importance/added value of the provenance, it's as important as the interested buyers deem it to be. I would have paid the 3.5k$ for a coin from jameson with these defects. But 12.5k$, thanks but no thanks. PS. No it's not a shadow intermediary who buys from auctions and then resells to these dealers. It's the dealers who do it.[/QUOTE]
