[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1499825, member: 27043"]I think you're misinterpreting some things. "Average Market Price" is the average price of the various price guides and so forth...the average price within market guidelines. The $60 was an aberration, and noted as one. You've conveniently left out the numerous other citations in the $30-$40 range. An INDIVIDUAL might give you $30-$40 for it...maybe...but YOU get the fun of listing it, promoting it, shipping it, and hanging on to it and keeping it safe in the meantime. YOU get to spend time traveling to meet the buyer, or post the package. YOU get to spend the effort in showing the coin to a buyer, or photographing it. YOU get to pay the sellers premium, or final value fee, or listing fee. I'm sorry, but it's just not that special of a coin. What would it have taken to make you feel less insulted? A $20 offer maybe? $25? At that price, as a "collectible" it just isn't worth a dealer's time and effort for what is likely to barely be enough profit to buy dinner at McDonald's.[/QUOTE]
