One way to get a coin that you need and cannot find elsewhere...

is to locate it in the Heritage auction archives, find the ones that meet your criteria for grade, price, and quality, and keep making offers until someone accepts it. I have learned that "if you throw enough crap against the wall, some of it will stick".

You actually got that to work. I tried a couple of times and got no responses. I was contacted one time about coin I have and turned down the offer because the coin is virtually irreplaceable (tied for finest graded), and the offer was not outrageous enough to get me to sell it.
There are a couple of coins with signs on them that made me consider going after them, but I figured after I paid Heritage a 10% fee plus whatever the profit the owner needed to get, I'd be buried in the piece.
Way to go!

This is not a once size-fits all strategy, and, in fact, it really should only be used sparingly. I really wanted one of these and was annoyed that this "generic" piece was so hard to find. So, I forced one out into the market. I will buy another when the opportunity arises.
Edit: Did I mention that it was in an OGH?

You must have thrown enough crap to crack the wall
I've made like over 100 unsuccessful offers and it's not fun to wait 72 hours while the smoke signals are sent just to be rejected.

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
One offer I made was 2x the PCGS price guide and 2x the price the seller paid
Not only did the seller not accept ... I never heard anything at all from the seller (boo or otherwise)
I almost get the impression that the seller did not get my offer.
