<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1290462, member: 9167&quot;]While I understand what you mean, Doug, I have to disagree. Otherwise great rarities, such as the 33 double eagle and the 1804 dollars would be worth fractions of what are because in reality it&#039;s been one or two people who have bid their prices up, not a community of collectors. Most, if not all of the six figure coins have changed hands withing a tiny elite community of just a few dozen collectors over the years. Thats hardly a barometer of the community as a whole in determining overall value of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Marshall&#039;s experience, who&#039;s to say had he been in a room with other bidders, or even the one bidder who won, with a live auction where sneaky last second bids are impossible, that the two of them wouldn&#039;t have driven the price many multiples it&#039;s current sale price? Thats one reason Ebay is not a good place to get auction prices, because the variables are just not realistic.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
