zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 12:21 pm A most excellent process explanation JM... it parallels my thoughts very closely, and answers my original question. Report this Post to the Staff
JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 1:02 pm I'm glad you're around Zee... It's refreshing to be able to be technical with someone at that level... I usually just translate very specific concepts into something general enough for the layman to understand. It's those subtle distinctions, though, that can turn a fairly common 19th century bible that retails for $20 into a $40,000 rarity. :) Report this Post to the Staff
zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 1:33 pm The sentiment is mutual JM.... I assure you. I don't know much about Bibles, but here is a synographic example.... these 1862 $1 notes are quite common..... but not this one... note the placement of the lower serial number, note the series number..... $20K+ in VG.

JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 1:47 pm Now, that was an excellent RUN.... To illustrate the kind of stuff I buy/sell, here's an example from the 'Wicked Bible'. It's the 10 Commandments. Read closely... I'd pay $80K for that edition in a heartbeat, if one hit the market, and I could double my money in 6 months or less.

JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 07:11 am A handful have appeared in the last 20 years, but they are all flawed and/or restored. Perfection carries it's price. I might have a couple of restored pieces in my private collection, but I would never sell one. Report this Post to the Staff
