<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cubenewb, post: 1071116, member: 25644&quot;]I see what you mean, and I am by no means defending the unscrupulous practices of GSC (real dirtbags IMO), but I&#039;m sure you can agree that condition was not the determining factor in that auction. Sure, it&#039;s cleaned, and from the looks of it it does look either bent or rocking some serious rim damage... but it <i>is </i>(supposedly)authentic. That coin&#039;s price definer is its low mintage, regardless of whether or not it is cleaned or damaged, it is a legitimate specimen from a pool of 2,000 coins over 150 years old. You initially said &quot;What&#039;s wrong with these people;&quot; I know what you are saying, but in that particular case, people paid a fairly reasonable price considering the rarity of the coin itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for this comment:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure you&#039;d agree that such a statement overlooks the scarcity of the coin in question. a &#039;33 St. Gaudens and a 1913 V Nickel might be cleaned or damaged, but I&#039;d certainly pay 10k for that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
