<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2438663, member: 19463&quot;]This explains a lot.&nbsp; I bought very few coins from him because he was usually high on lower grade coins that I wanted because of some small feature that most people would not care about.&nbsp; He seemed pleasant at the table but I don&#039;t make offers on coins priced at five times what I would pay so I bought very few coins from his tables at Baltimore.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do know another dealer, now retired, with similar pricing schedules for the same reason and I suppose I am that way, too, since I would have some big numbers on some of my favorite coins if forced to price them.&nbsp; It is not an easy thing to do.&nbsp; I have a friend who was approached to buy his house when he did not want to sell.&nbsp; To shut the guy up, my friend quoted him a number three times market value.&nbsp; With no further haggling, the house was sold.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, what is there about this Sinope that makes it a &#039;not to sell&#039; coin? It is not high grade or particularly more complete than most.&nbsp; I suspect he knew something about the magistrate name Fage-- that we are missing.&nbsp; $280 seems perfectly reasonable for the venue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
