<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2314822, member: 19463"]I know I prefer dealers offer more coins with less information since I feel perfectly capable of researching the coins I buy and will be checking any data provided anyway. The question is not what I want but what will sell more of your coins for higher prices. If you spend a hour researching and writing words no one reads, you are out that hour but if it causes a bidding war on a coin so there is an extra $20 in the result, you made $20 an hour. In the case of this coin, you had discussed it heavily on CT when you bought it. I got the impression that the previous owner thought it was an AE Limes but you discovered it was black toned silver which, to most people, is better. If all of our words here that go unread were to turn into nickels, you would be a millionaire and I would be Donald Trump.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
