<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2877507, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t see this at all this way.&nbsp; Yes, things have changed and people in business spend money on different things now but the fact remains that a &#039;proper&#039; write up of a $20 coin turns it into a $40 coin possibly making it unlikely to sell while the same expenditure will write up a $2000 coin.&nbsp; I always termed this fact &#039;nuisance value&#039;.&nbsp; That is the lowest price you will see that seller list a coin no matter what the coin is.&nbsp; You might call it the bribe you pay him to handle the coin.&nbsp; It makes no difference if a coin is &#039;worth&#039; less, the coin will be listed at that price or wholesaled off in batches.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the last thirty years, the nuisance value price has risen with most dealers to the point that there are quite a few who don&#039;t bother with coins under $500 and a few that start many times over that.&nbsp; It is foolish to send a collection of $50 coins to a $500 dealer.&nbsp; Most of the coins I buy from big sales are things they had to buy/list to be allowed the &#039;better&#039; items in a collection.&nbsp; Dealers who have trouble buying coins as nice as these may welcome the group but those who have &#039;big&#039; sales have all the &#039;seconds&#039; they can handle.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When the two &#039;best&#039; coins in the group lot are fakes, &#039;ringer&#039; is not the word that comes to mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
