<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2995668, member: 19463"]I don't think about it. If certainly genuine, I am not interested in the coin at that price. I don't know enough to comment in a meaningful manner except to say that people who pay that money for that coin need better advice than they are going to get from people like me who have never seen the coin before. I'm offended that some find my coin merely hilarious. Ridiculous, maybe. I have often said that I am very glad I am not in the business of selling my opinions on coins as we see with David Sear and NGC. I can just walk away and say, "Not my problem!" I don't see obvious tooling but those surfaces could conceal anything. On whose word that the coin is genuine would you be willing to pay $2000? $20? I have uglier coins but they tend to be in the under $20 range or known to be significant rather than dreamed to be so. I can say I have gained well over the cost of my Zenobia (I can't recall right now but $10 seems right - I don't catalog fakes bought as fake) just fantasizing that some king or robber baron bought it thinking it was real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
