[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 698091, member: 705"]When asking for a lower price I just always hand the coin to the dealer and ask..."what's your price?" and at the same time be looking at other coins in his case.

If you walk up to a dealer and lets say that you know Jefferson Nickels like the back of your hand and can spot a FS easy, then ask to see some Morgan dollars, Washington Quarters, then as almost a side note, say something about how the Jefferson dime is sure pretty, and then start going through those.
