<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1828744, member: 19463&quot;]I hate to see eBay or lots vilified as a group when the faults of both are common across the board.&nbsp; There are may good coins sold on eBay but you have to figure out which ones they are.&nbsp; That involves skills like picking a seller and reading the listing and photos critically.&nbsp; &nbsp; Similarly decent coins are sometimes sold in groups.&nbsp; In the upcoming Triton sale there are &#039;back of catalog&#039; groups of 5 to 2007 coins offered as one.&nbsp; The 2007 is a pile of barbarous radiates and probably holds a lot of interest for someone into these coins a bit more than I.&nbsp; There are groups of a hundred coins described as VF to EF but, again, someone might need to want a few duplicates.&nbsp; I suspect these will go to dealers.&nbsp; Dealers, even small ones do not want a hundred dregs and floorsweepings so we see them on eBay being sold to people who do not know there are other ways of buying coins. Don&#039;t blame the venue or the groupings but blame the buyer who thinks he can get a hundred dollar coin for $19.95 or a lot of 100 $10 coins for $69.95.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I admit a lot of curiosity on what the Triton lots will bring not because I want them but because I wonder which ones I will see broken down and offered to me for a price by the eventual buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
