<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pprp, post: 4986393, member: 94602&quot;]I couple of my thoughts based on your advisors response</p><p><br /></p><p>1. &quot;I<i> think $15k would be a strong, sensible bid on the Amastris and hopefully will be buyable for less&quot;. </i>This is in line with what I am saying some time now, that auctions have turned into a casino. Your advisor may be an honest person. But if he was a crook he would have asked the auctioneer for a small percentage and then turn 2 of his clients against each other. So you bid 15k and someone else upon his advice 20k. Or even just 14k to still keep you happy you won the coin. I strongly believe that this scenario is not fictional.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. &quot;<i>Th</i>e<i> fact that there is no pedigree is also a cause for concern for a number of collectors from a cultural property standpoint.&quot;&nbsp; </i>I am aware of an advisor who is preaching against buying coins from new digs but still was unfortunate to get revealed of buying from them. So it&#039;s partly true that you might get rid of some competition but it doesn&#039;t always work in your favor. And don&#039;t believe the big words some are saying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
