Message:: [QUOTE="jtrader, post: 574152, member: 18103"]I'm a little confused here. Are you coing off a dealers sheet with that price? Cus I did spend over 100 for the coin. Around 150 actually. My coin values magazine and Black book put the coins value at around 200 or more. So that obviouslly must be to high. It's just so confuseing!!! With each grade there seems to be a huge spread of price and value. And within each price quote and value there's another spread. So how do you know whats a good price and what's not? And how do you know if a seller is trying to rip you off or not? Cus it seems to me that latelly i've been getting some really good deals. But maybe some of these are not such great deals after all. I don't think i've exactlly OVER spent on some of this stuff. But I didn't exactlly get it at a cheap price either. Not that I'm TRYING to be cheap. I have a real interest in dealing coins on the side as a hobby, and have been trying to semi stock up so that when I do sell this stuff.  I can make a little money off it.  But I don't want to ruin it for myself right out of the gate.  A dealer told me the other day that this buisness is all about SMOKE and MIRRORS.  And I'm starting to beileve him.  So what do you do if you want to get started the right way?  Meaning beyond just learning to grade properlly.[/QUOTE]
