<p>[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2877615, member: 83845"]I suppose you can count me in the 1% then because I like the OP coins just fine (minus the inauthentic ones). Maybe these are not desirable to a certain segment of the market but a quick search through stuff actually selling on eBay shows plenty of people are willing to spend a great deal on coins that are much less desirable than the OP offerings IMO. Perhaps what you're suggesting is that the venue chosen is not the best venue to reach this segment of collectors? With that I agree. However...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The auction house was under no obligation to accept the coins on consignment. When they agreed to do so it became a matter of professional decency that they should present the offerings in thier auction in a manner that shows that they actually care about their profession. Whether they make money or not the lack of care given in this case is an insult to thier customers, consigners and colleagues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
