<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3045144, member: 91609&quot;]Could be that, similar to sentiments expressed many times on CT, the owner has no &quot;heirs&quot; interested in numismatics.&nbsp; Rather than leave it to someone to merely dump on a &quot;pawn&quot; or &quot;coin&quot; shop, he/she has the wherewithal to get it into the hands of someone who does.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And just for the record, a common &quot;thread&quot; here seems to be that the seller &amp; potential buyer is at the same level of &quot;collecting&quot; as us, &amp; there is nothing further from the truth.&nbsp; Someone willing (read: with the ability so spend this kind of disposable income) to acquire this collection is most likely to keep it intact &amp; count it as &quot;another skin on the wall&quot;.&nbsp; The buyer will be in a different stratosphere, even above panzerman, who I greatly admire for his prowess in acquiring great specimens - I love seeing his stuff!</p><p><br /></p><p>So while we like to conjecture various scenarios (especially as relates to ebay), this is really out of our league (unless one of you buys it, then I retract everything I&#039;ve stated).&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
