This is a two point question. You can discuss one or both ;) 1)How do you store your coins? I use cardboard 2 x 2's, inside the plastic pocket...
There are some good pawn dealers out there. And those are the ones that would never have to hold onto a coin long enough to end up having trouble...
If a pawn shot was offering a fair price for the coin, they wouldn't hold onto it long enough for the market value to change that drastically. If...
Hmmm, well, I would say a good deal on a coin is what an educated buyer would pay for it. But the coin is actually worth what the average buyer...
