<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7815634, member: 19463"]True but it is possible that a trade can involve more than one item or some cash to achieve a balance. The idea of the trade is to pry loose from two tight fisted collectors a coin that they have no intention of selling but that they might let go if they received something they wanted even more in trade. This is not something that you can buy every day with cash from sources known to everyone but things that are available only a few times over a long period. Rather few modern coin collectors could understand this because most of their coins are available by the roll if they have the money. I have a few coins that I have no desire to sell that I would trade for one particular coin currently in the British Museum. It would appeal to very few people but would fit my collection better than my 'tradeables'. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1343337[/ATTACH]</p><p>You will say everything has its price and you may be right.
