<p>[QUOTE="PaulTudor, post: 3751822, member: 103058"][USER=77169]@wcg[/USER] Until now i used to find acceptable if one in five coins had a small issue,but now i might rethink my strategy.The reality is that i'm spending many hours researching the average value(past sales) for every grade of a particular coin before buying or bidding and acsearch is one of my resources, so i'm trying to make sure i'm not paying more than its value, a lot less actually is what i almost always manage to do. Same applies if i decide to buy a rare coin with damage.For example the 1/2 Liechtenstein taler,with obv brooch marks and cleaned, that i've posted on here, it was bought for 55£. Same grade,without marks was generally sold between 1200-1500 euros before premium so it's not like i've spent too much on a damaged coin.Contacting someone with more experience sounds like a great idea too to be honest!Also please forgive me for not mentioning your awesome sede vacante collection, i do admire it,as i previously mentioned it on a different forum some time ago![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
