<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2601558, member: 44316&quot;]Each of the CNG-Triton large lots of hekati consist of coins of the same type, ensuring that dealers are the target audience. If they had put one of each type in each lot, they could have had collectors bid and I&#039;ll bet the total prices realized would be higher. I would bid on lots with fifteen different hektai, but I won&#039;t bid on any of the lots with fifteen of the same type in one lot. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there some reason dealers don&#039;t make it easy for collectors to buy large lots? For example, some only use one picture showing one side of the coins in the lot. Even an individual lot gets two pictures! Only the people at the auction can know what they are getting, so it is hard for internet-people to bid in an informed manner. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even the lots of hektai show only one side of the coins.&nbsp; For a $3000 lot you&#039;d think they would show the other side! But no. So why do major dealers do that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
