I have a coin that I know I'm not going to make anything on and doesn't really fit my collecting profile/interest. Yes, I know, why did I buy the thing in the first place. No useful answer on that. So do you think that it is a reasonable practice or something that is not within the bounds of traditional orthodoxy so ask if a dealer might take my coin, I then add some cash, to get a coin I do want that they have for sale. You may ask what's the coin.....NFLD 1940 Red 1c PCGS MS63.....
It's done all of the time. All you need to do is find the dealer who will give you the best deal. Chris
Thanks Chris.....I paid around the best part of 400 bucks, one dealer has it listed as 700, and same dealer offered me 300.................that was a pure sell, not the exact scenario I posted about. I've seen something I like on the George Manz site in SK Can....hence my post..thanks again...j marbury518
