<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2545074, member: 19463&quot;]You never know when you lose a coin just by how much you lost.&nbsp; You saw this as a generic tet to fill an &#039;early posthumous&#039; slot.&nbsp; The winner may have just been guy with deeper pockets but it may have been the only variation a specialist in Babylon lacked to enable him to write his book on the coins.&nbsp; He may have been looking for years and bid ten times what you did.&nbsp; It works both ways.&nbsp; I have bid three times what I ended up having to pay for certain coins only to find I was the only person who wanted the thing at all.&nbsp; These are questions we don&#039;t often learn completely unless you see that coin offered again by a dealer who actually thought the coin was worth twice what he paid.&nbsp; Then, again, you will have the option of walking away.&nbsp; It is not important which fish ends up on your dinner plate as long as it tastes good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
