I'm a little surprised at the market for obviously AT coins...

Recently I've been watching coins that come up in AT holders, and I keep getting surprised by the amount of interest they draw. Like this example from our own Braddick.... are buyers hoping to stick these to a sucker later, or are people just into the whole fake thing??

    Just a thought...


    Buy it cheap as an AT coin. Dip it blast white and sell it for a profit as a nice non toned MS coin?

    I'm not sure that it would be such a wise idea to dip AT coins; you might end up with an ugly dog. As for the market strength of AT coins in holders, its probly a safe bet that many ebayers are not even aware of AT. They have buy slabbed drilled into their heads and therefore assume that if a coin is slabbed its ok; even if its AT. I mean HSN is still selling overpriced common bullion by the pickup load are they not. Nuff Said.

    coins is capitalism in its rawest form

    there are many new buyers out there with little experiences and tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ burning a hole in their pocket

    also greed is a powerful afrodeezeeack

    just like pt barnum said there;s a sucker born every minute

    all sellers are doing is satififying the demand they are feeding a STRONG need a huge demand

    i have found in coins is that the masses love to get fastunked ............get it up the wazoo

    and then they come back for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
