<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7699010, member: 19463"]The point I am missing is not that they are selling low grade examples of rarities as a lot but that they see it as in their interest to do so and not mention in the description what they were doing. Did more people bid on the group because they were chasing a sleeper? If they had said "10 coins of which half are things too rare to be sold this way" would people have boycotted the sale? Were they sold as a group because the house was not comfortable with all being genuine (untooled, not casts) and needed the 'as is' protection that they get from group lots? Did grandpa have a junk bin where he kept things he was ashamed to show his peer group who only collected gems and the family not know what was there? Was the house planning on buying them if it appeared they were going to be sold as common junk? How do you explain this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
