<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 4850892, member: 101013&quot;]When it comes to the question whether I should buy a coin or not (or at least, try to place the highest bid <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), I consider the following factors:</p><ul> <li>Desirability (how much do I want this type) </li> <li>Eye appeal (do I think it looks pretty)</li> <li>Rarity: does it appear often in auction/sales, so if I miss this one, is it reasonable to expect another one appearing within the following months</li> <li>Availability: a coin may appear often, but if its a very popular type (Atthens Owl, Caesar&#039;s portrait, etc) the availability is less due to popularity and higher revenues</li> <li>Flaws: every flaw imaginable, such as die-flaws, strike-flaws, or, if one is really into that, lack of provenance</li> <li>Financial possibilities: we all want that coin if XF, or even higher, but my bankaccount thinks differently </li> </ul><p>How one weighs these factors is strictly personal. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you want this specific type - and we all know these types are desirable and can get expensive - how many flaws can you accept?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
