Is this coin is being held hostage?

Here's an amazing Bust Dollar being offered by a bullion house for approximately double what it auctioned for last time.. 🤔
Of course, the auction sale may have been a steal and who knows what it's sold for since then.
It's a hard one to price no doubt, but still...
I hope someone rescues it someday and returns it to the numismatic world...😄

    How is a coin being offered for sale not a part of the numismatic world?

    I feel your pain and use that same terminology: “held hostage”

    Not everybody values coins the same. The fact somebody thinks it's worth more than you doesn't mean it's being held hostage.

    It's priced at double as it is a double! :D:D:p

    Damn, after looking at that again, maybe I need a double!!!

    @Pnies20...

    So you don't really have a response? That's cool. :)

    You sell for twice as much because it's two coins.

    I know how you feel. Always remember that living well is the best revenge. Just beat them to the punch on the next coin auction.

    I would hold that coin hostage.... If I could ever capture it.... :D I am a certified hostage holder... That being said, I treat my captives extremely well. ;) Cheers, RickO
