<p>[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1014260, member: 22602"]Everyone's price tag for happiness is different. The scenario you describe could be right: there could be two enthusiastic bidders willing to plunk down a month's salary (or whatever) to own the most fantastic toner they ever will. But the high bidder could also very easily be a dealer who happens to have a wealthy client who basically gave him <i>carte blanche</i> to find the most spectacular toners, price being no object. There were huge bids placed on several other monster-toned Morgans at the same time this one received a huge bid—may have been the same dealer. I see on Heritage (for example) all the time coins bid up to astronomical levels, only to be re-listed two auctions later at which they go for 1/3 the price. I don't think the collectors doing that are crying in their soup over their poor decisions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not arguing anybody's point, just saying, really, that there are all kinds of collectors out there, some who cherish each new coin they buy (that would be me and probably most of us here) and others who have money they just don't know what to do with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
