<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 635017, member: 15110"]I hadn't finished reading this post. Very interesting stuff. I have bought many coins from Charmy and they all have had way over the top eye appeal. She only buys top quality coins and literally has no junk in her inventory. I have sat at her table for hours and many of her coins are priced like the way Lehigh looks at it- so much over bid based on the eye appeal. The ones that have average eye appeal are priced accordingly. Some of my nicest coins I own are from her. At least the ones I enjoy looking at the most. I understand Doug's point as well. You have to use prices realized for a guage, and then ask yourself why you are collecting? Are you ok to potentially sit on the coin or lose money if you had to sell in a bind? I started selling some coins on ebay and lost money on most of them because of shipping fees/ebay fees etc. But the price realized was similar to what I paid. If a dealer charges 2x bid then it has to be a good looking coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
