<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3164107, member: 19463&quot;]I have to go farther on this.&nbsp; It is wrong to bring up a coin still up for bids.&nbsp; If you attract other interest to it, you are more likely not to win.&nbsp; If one or twenty of the rest of us had noted the coin and had intents or even set a snipe bid on the coin, you put us in a bad position where we look like evil monsters if we bid as planned but if we don&#039;t and you don&#039;t bid enough to win, the coin may go to someone else who bid less than we planned.&nbsp; That is a lose, lose situation.&nbsp; It is not appropriate to advertise a coin as more interesting if you are the seller (especially if you neglect to mention you are the seller and just want to drive up the price).&nbsp; I would prefer we had a rule forbidding mention of specific coins before the sale closes.&nbsp; I have mixed feelings about&nbsp; saying something like, &quot;There are a lot of nice _______ coins in the new CNG sale.&quot;&nbsp; I know I don&#039;t like to see, &quot;Lot 123 in sale 456 is worth a lot more than the current bid.&quot;&nbsp; It is fine to discuss coins that have closed or generic examples of types that are up for sale somewhere but not the specific example.&nbsp; Just my opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
