<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 3030169, member: 75641"][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] I understand why retail dealers charge what they do. I actually do not just want pretty silver coins but my typical collecting threshold is to have legible legends or at least enough of it to make a clear identification. I’m not super picky about grade or slivering beyond enough to make a simple ID. Mostly that serves as a sorting function for me to help me skip past coins when I am looking at a few hundred, much like a retail dealer. Except that I keep all of my finds lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t begrudge anyone making money, especially folks who are servicing our hobby. Retail customers with more time than money can pay the premium for their services and still feel like they came out ahead. I would prefer to spend the time and hopefully save some money for the more common stuff since I am mostly looking for mintmarks that aren’t necessarily rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
