I usually buy 1 or 2 coins, from each new auction. I can say there wasn't anything that I HAD to have. And I agree with others, prices seem higher than usual, even for Berk.

Depends on the coin and how much it is going for. Mostly likely I would pass. Yes, I have actually done it a few times before and I haven't regretted it. No, I wouldn't. Depends, I have done that once or twice & over the time, I end up selling one or the other.

I would pass on it. Even with the lower price point, the coin is still unattractive to the eyes. And that's a lot of money to spend, on an unappealing looking coin.

I'm surprised they didn't reveal who the seller was. But with some hard detective work, I think I solved the mystery.
