<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3494931, member: 26302"]Good example of how knowledge, especially in depth knowledge such as yours sir, is simply a huge advantage. Also, ALWAYS buy into hoards. If you truly know the scarcity of a coin, do not be afraid when suddenly some come onto the market. This is how this hobby works. A coin is rare, then a small or large group comes onto the market, driving down prices and giving the illusion they are suddenly not a rare coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Every single time in my 20 years of collecting ancients, this is what happens. Everyone gets lazy who wanted an example of the coin, thinking "they are everywhere, I will wait until prices come down a little more since there is no wait". Every single time they regret waiting, as the hoard gets dispersed and the rare coin is rare once again. I do exactly what [USER=95174]@BenSi[/USER] does, buy as many examples as I can, when I can, since I may not get another chance in my lifetime. Do not be lulled by a temporary hoard. If you know your area of coins, and a coin was rare for years and years and now suddenly available, do not lose your chance to own it. It WILL become rare or scarce again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
