<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3208027, member: 44316&quot;]If the old days auction firms could list coins as &quot;sold&quot; that did not really sell, thus increasing the apparent value of the coin and type. I think that is considered unethical now (It was unethical then, but common enough anyway).</p><p><br /></p><p>March 2018 is not long ago and if someone bought it then they seem not to have wanted it for their collection. Here it reappears with the same firm only months later. If it was really bought by a person, that person must have thought it would go up by more than 30% just to cover fees. Doubtful.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not know, but I doubt it sold in any real sense in March. A possibility is that it &quot;sold&quot; and the PR came out but the buyer declined to pay, so they had to offer it again. I know this type of thing happens. Another possibility is that it didn&#039;t meet the reserve and then some number was misleadingly listed as the sale price, which increases the apparent value. A PR of 700 would make future buyers happier to bid at least 380 to apparently acquire a bargain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
