<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2922668, member: 24544&quot;]I have no idea, it would depend on a lot of factors like capital costs and travel expenses.&nbsp; I could see a 2x markup being reasonable.&nbsp; A quick search and I see these going in that 20k-40k range at auction with the NAC coin up over 100k.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Pricing these types of rare and important coins becomes much tougher.&nbsp; You may be able to get the next one at auction for 40k, but when will that be? If you want to buy one right now, how many are available, I assume one?&nbsp; What&#039;s the likely trend in pricing on this coin, up?&nbsp; A could see a dealer offering it at 3x and waiting for the market to come to him.&nbsp; If he sells it, he made a large profit, if he sits on it he has a very nice piece of marketing.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, all those radial lines extending from the letters to the edge of the coin, are those flow lines created during the striking process as the metal flows inconsistently outwards, or are they die deterioration?&nbsp; I always assumed they were flow lines as I have seem similar marks on old US copper, but flow lines should be unique to each coin.&nbsp; Die deterioration would transfer to all coins struck from those dies, depending of course on the die state.&nbsp; I bring this up because those lines match this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]707950[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>NAC 54 lot 513</p><p><br /></p><p>Given the integrity of these two auction houses, I presume those are die deterioration, because if they are flow lines then one of these is a copy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
