[QUOTE="scarborough, post: 7829089, member: 93146"]In my opinion this coin’s recent market history shows dealers as profit maximizing companies. I don’t think of coin dealers as either friends nor evil … they simply want to make a profit like every other business. We as collectors are fortunate that many companies realize that having ethics, guarantees and good customer relations enhances businesses. In my opinion, here we have an example where a provenance would not enhance margin. Maybe the dealer was not aware of the slabbing. Maybe it was. In any case the dealer’s behaviour surely maximized its profit. If consciously selective, this wouldn’t be the first time that a dealer chose which provenance to list.[/QUOTE]
