<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2998796, member: 39084&quot;]My thoughts about this exchange tend to mirror most of the other comments posted here:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The coin sold for close to $100K (if you include buyer&#039;s fees) in 2014; why would your friend sell it for $60K worth of butterflies?&nbsp; Surely he can research this coin&#039;s value on the Internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. NAC&#039;s auction description doesn&#039;t list the alleged 2002 Sotheby&#039;s sale at which your friend purchased it; why not?</p><p><br /></p><p>3. If it was sold in 2014 (the coin you picture above is clearly the same coin that was sold in the 2014 NAC auction), why does your friend still own it?</p><p><br /></p><p>While I have purchased coins from individuals, I ALWAYS do it through my dealer who can verify the coin&#039;s authenticity and provenance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My advice is to find a knowledgeable and honest dealer, have him physically present for the transaction, and pay him a 3% - 5% fee for his expertise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
