<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shea19, post: 8218099, member: 90981&quot;]Yes, for the reasons you mentioned, and many others (i.e.- Pozzi collected Greek coins, the price was way too low for a coin from a famous collection, etc.), any experienced collector should have easily understood that this wasn’t from the famous Pozzi collection.&nbsp; The problem is, not every bidder at these auctions is an experienced collector.&nbsp; At the time, I’d only been collecting for a couple of years and had no real interest in pedigree.&nbsp; When I read the listing, I just assumed that it had to be from the famous Pozzi collection, so I read a bit about Dr. Pozzi (a truly fascinating person), and left it at that.&nbsp; A rookie mistake, and certainly not one I’d make today, but I probably wasn’t the only one who made that mistake. Thankfully, it was a fairly inexpensive mistake for me, and it came with a nice coin and a valuable lesson.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you 100%, but I personally think it would have been best for them to just not use the name at all.&nbsp; If this collector’s name had been, for example, “S. Polly”, I don&#039;t think they would have featured the name as prominently in the listings.&nbsp; I&#039;m a frequent Leu customer and I buy from their auctions regularly, but I think this was a bad look for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
