<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3970514, member: 19463"]It is just one opinion but I see coins that lack the letters necessary to separate one CONSTAN----- from another as severely flawed and not worth the lofty price of $4.95 in old style dollars. In the lower price brackets there is a lot of price influence from the lowest price of any coin the seller will carry. I see it a lot like a restaurant that charges $4.95 for a cup and allows you to refill it as many times as you wish with 'free' beverage. Today, few dealers admit there is a coin that would sell for $5 and many that never go as low as $100. I call this the 'nuisance price' or what they charge for the bother of making it available. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is a different workshop (delta=4). I paid $5 in 2000 which was too much for the coin but I wanted it since it was ex. Bavarian Collection and came with the original envelope and tag. Today, nothing has changed. The 1700 year old coin is worth less than the 100 year old envelope. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044688[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
