<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 362086, member: 7248&quot;]i am sure i am quite unpoular at this time, especially w/ this thread.</p><p>&nbsp;when referring to the columnist who had purchased a 10k coin for 50 bucks is extreme, it did happen. he bought the coin at a local auction where he lived. but at the minimum, even after buying the coin at such a good price....wouldn&#039;t it still show integrity instead of shrewdness...to at least pay the auctioneer a cut of 1000 and the owner another 2000?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;i mean, you still get a 10k coin for 3050 which is amazing as it is!!&nbsp; at the minimum, all 3 parties are getting so much more value and money than they had ever anticiipated. especially being a professional expert in a numismatic field in which you represent!&nbsp; it just seems the minimum right thing to do...everyone wins !</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;another gentlemen offset this story w/ a purchase of his own. he found a special morgan vam in a box of $10 morgans (couple yrs ago). this coin was worth several thousand dollars. he bought the coin, then he told the dealer what it was.&nbsp; he then entered an agreement consigning the coin back to the dealer w/ each spiltting the profit&nbsp; 50%.&nbsp; &nbsp; this man is a simple collector and i have more respect for his actions than i do someone who has taught me about morgan vams.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;there is a way to cherrypick for your collection where everyone can win.&nbsp;&nbsp; i just simply want more collectors in our hobby and less bitterness and heartache for novices and average collectors. life is hard enough w/o our hobby being vicious and having a bad name.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
