<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 244507, member: 88"]Rayo - the woman that consigned the coin had no clue that any of the coins she brought in were of any value. She was preparing to sell a multi-generational house & was going to consign items to be sold. When Bill went out to see what she had she told him there were "some coins & sterling" in the house. She was going to consign the furniture, but she wasn't going to empty the place out until it sold. He strongly suggested she get all of the sterling, coins & all other small items of value out of the house before putting it on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the next day she showed up at the auction house with a bag of silver & gold coins along with the sterling. We sold everything but this coin a few weeks back & had Tom not spoke up he would have sold this one also. I think there was a total of 5 gold coins that he sold as buyer's choice. I can't remember what they sold for, but I do not think it was anything truly extraordinary & I think they went to one of our regulars.</p><p><br /></p><p>So bottom line, she made a great deal more that she ever thought she would.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
