[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3473824, member: 98035"]I fully feel that pain. The best way I have found to get a great deal on a coin you want is to first pay way too much for it, then the market for them will magically crash, leaving you stuck with your first mistake! I have often wondered about price estimates... I routinely see CNG and maybe a couple other auction houses give coins like a tribute penny in Ch. VF - EF an estimate of about $150 only to have it get blown out of the water at $500+ Conversely, I have seen them estimate a run-of-the-mill Samanta Deva jital at $60 when it really isn't worth much more than $25, and a few months ago I sat out on a Plotina denarius at CNG because I was eyeing the one at Leu - CNG's went for $200 under what I was willing to pay, and I got a royal beat down from my competition at Leu. Didn't win a single coin out of 20+ bids.[/QUOTE]
