<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2756785, member: 76965&quot;]Well I suppose it all has to do with several factors like the auction house/site, description, venue and other factors like buyers egos and rivalry etc. Sometimes the &#039;right&#039; type of buyers notice/track the coin and bidding is strong....other times it flops.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen numerous cases where very similar coins are sold by the same auction house for huge price differences in less than 6 months.</p><p><br /></p><p>Political or financial uncertainty at the time of the auction also plays a huge part. Few months ago prices were softer but now they are beginning to come back. I personally bought this coin on eBay for approx $667 in September 2016. The seller had purchased the exact same coin (NGC Certificate number) for $940 in April 2016 from a reputable auction house. That&#039;s a 30% drop on his buying price, almost 50% on selling price in just 6 months.</p><p><br /></p><p>In April 2017 a coin in similar condition albeit, better centered, sold for $2,200+. I guess the right buyers came together for the 2017 auction. But even so, that is a huge fluctuation!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, these huge fluctuations seem more prevalent in Ancient coins rather than modern ones. Does this mean modern coins have more defined prices and a more devoted customer base?? An upsetting thought!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]632606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]632607[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
