[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 7876825, member: 39084"]For a slightly different perspective on the apparent $25K acceptable offer for this coin, I would point out that the all-in-price for this coin in the Triton auction, after buyer's fee and shipping, would be about $19,500. So the $25K price is about a 28% retail markup, which I personally would consider an acceptable percentage from a retail dealer IF this were a coin in which I was interested. In my mind, the key issues would be (1) is this a coin that I really want in my collection, and (2) does the $25K asking price represent an acceptable market value for this coin at this time? Another way to look at this coin is, did the purchaser in the Triton XXIV auction get a minor bargain at $19.5 all-in, or did he/she pay an effectively retail price? I can't answer any of these questions myself, but I do think that while the $50K eBay price is patently ridiculous, a $25K price may be worth a second thought.[/QUOTE]
