<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3473744, member: 74282&quot;]I really recommend getting an ACSearch account or checking things like the CNG archives for prices and mostly ignoring the estimate as they rarely have any bearing on the final hammer other than setting the opening bid. Some sales have many coins that wind up hammering right around the estimate but top tier houses like CNG, Roma and NAC often have coins hammering for multiples of the estimate in my experience, especially at the printed auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also usually a bit of luck involved as the same coin can easily double or halve in price depending on the venue, time, the photo and who&#039;s watching the auction. Sometimes I feel like I have a pretty good handle on it all but in every auction there seems to be at least one coin that really surprises me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
