I'll go so far as to say it's possible, but why not show the obverse of the RR coin?

I hope he puts it up on auction, and the obverse was at least as good as the reverse. Some people just like busting chops

 

We all have a number below which we feel good and above which we feel used. I don't pay 10% for plastic boxes but I understand why some do. Big sellers that have a minimum charge to list a consignment are basically saying that they do not sell coins below that amount because it is not worth their time. I'm not a seller but I feel the same way. I don't feel it is worth my while to write up, post, promote and follow up on coins of the value most of what I have as surplus would be fairly worth. Some on eBay meet this situation by listing $10 coins for $100 figuring someone might be stupid enough to buy it. I see no value in this practice because I would have trouble keeping a straight face. I know dealers who rarely have coins under $300 but have reasonably fair prices for their better items. I could put together a group of assorted coins for, say, $100 and feel maybe it was worth my effort but how many of you really want to buy a blind group of 10 coins for $100? I wouldn't. This is why I like coin shows better than mail order. The dealer makes more at a show than the post office. I like dealers to make a profit (reasonable) so they are encouraged to get more coins for me to buy. I can't really entertain such warm feelings about the post office.
