<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4849764, member: 19463"]While I certainly agree with the above, the CNG coin with shield is a considerable upgrade pose compared to the ordinary Victory walking and there are people who will pay for the difference. I feel we do a disservice to new collectors by sending them to review CNG results unless they are prepared to see all the minor differences and understand the power of the mailing list. Few sellers have clientele that really do not care what they pay to the level of CNG. I am a major league cheapskate and still buy a few coins from CNG but <u>only</u> when I see something I want and really do not believe can be found elsewhere <u>or</u> when it appears that the 'Big Dogs' would not be interested in the coin. If I were to evaluate my collection using CNG realizations for every coin, I would be fooling myself into thinking my holdings were worth at least five times what I might get if I were to sell elsewhere. Of course the sellers, especially of the low end coins that run afoul of the minimum per lot charges, do not get all that money. There are a few of the European sellers that will get more but CNG realizations are not overall representative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
