<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2776523, member: 76086&quot;]Yea, &quot;bird in hand&quot;.&nbsp; Many of us have made the same mistakes.&nbsp; And as a dealer I have made this mistake countless times.&nbsp; The problem with being a dealer is that your collection is always potential inventory, so when you decide to upgrade you have an easy way to dispose of the coin.&nbsp; But we all know what happens as Gavin points out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The same situation can be applied to hoards.&nbsp; I have always advised people to take advantage of a current hoard.&nbsp; If you want one and there are hundreds or even thousand on the market, dont assume they will always be there, or at the current price levels.&nbsp; I can advise that eventually they disappear into collections, most not to be seen again in our lifetimes.&nbsp; Even if they do come around again prices will be much higher.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember a seemingly endless hoard of Athenian New Style tetradrachms many years ago.&nbsp; They sold on average about $75 in solid VF.&nbsp; Those same coins now sell between $500 and $1,000 (depending on many factors of course).&nbsp; The examples are endless.&nbsp; So, take advantage now, if you can![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
