[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 635197, member: 112"]Yes, I am all too aware that not all coins of the same grade are equal and have stated such so many times here on this forum that they cannot be counted. And I am not trying to put anything into a box, carve it into stone or anything else. I am merely trying to point out that quite often, people pay way too much for a given coin due to their desire to own that coin. Yes, perhaps the coin was worth that much to them - but was it worth that much to anyone else ? THAT is the question. And if it isn't, then it really isn't worth that much now is it ? What you guys are saying is akin to saying that just because some fool on ebay pays $3,000 for an obvious counterfeit coin - that the counterfeit he bought really is worth $3,000. Well I hate to tell ya this guys but it isn't. The same thing applies to any coin that somebody pays way too much for.[/QUOTE]
