<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7952129, member: 110350&quot;]Well, one takes that into account in deciding how much to bid. For example, I knew that Nomos charges an 18% buyers&#039; premium plus 35 CHF for Federal Express shipping from Switzerland to the USA (which took three days to arrive). Pretty much the same as what most European V-Coins dealers charge for shipping by express courier to the USA. But obviously I needed to be willing to pay my maximum bid + 18%. As it happened, I got the coin for about $100 CHF less than my maximum bid. I suspect that some people may have refrained from bidding because the coin is not in superb condition in the abstract, not realizing that examples of this type with the entire reverse design on the flan are rather uncommon. A quick look on acsearch indicates that only 6 of the last 20 specimens sold show the entire eagle with both wings complete, including the outer wing extended past the border.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
