<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 747147, member: 15199&quot;]I found a column in the 11/30 Coin World to apply to this thread in a way. Q. David Bowers , who many might be considered one of Numismatic&#039;s foremost coin &quot;dealers&quot;, paid 132,000 ( including commissions) for a 1861 Confederate cent ( 12-15 known) in 2005, sold it in Stacks 11/7-11/9 auction for 112,700 which after fees ( if applied) would give him about 93,000. SO if all stands, QDB lost $40.000 in about 4 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again showing how what has been said by many in the forum. <b>The coin is only worth what the last person is willing to pay for it at the time.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>This is an important and popular historical coin.</p><p>From a well known and astute collector</p><p><br /></p><p>And still has a loss if all goes as said.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
