[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1583297, member: 24633"]Okay! Some dealers take to YN's like their grandchildren, and some dealers hate YN's like their grandchildren. I assume that you've experienced this by now and have learned that you can sometimes use your youth as a good negotiating advantage. When negotiating, always do so in a positive way. Don't try to get a lower price by talking negatively about a coin, and [B]never, never[/B] say, "Well, the dealer over there has this same coin for......." because he will probably tell you to go buy from him. It's much better to just tell the dealer that you have limited funds at your disposal. Your collecting preferences are still a bit vague. You didn't say if you prefer raw coins for albums or certified coins and what grade ranges you want. There can be considerable differences in price. Like easj3699 said, walk the floor and see if there is anything that catches your eye. Make mental or written notes of those coins, and look for others that can be compared to them in both price and grade. It shouldn't take too long to go through 50 tables. Don't worry if a coin is sold while you're looking through the other tables. There will always be other opportunities. It's better to miss out on one opportunity that to pay too much for a coin. I realize that I probably haven't been much help to you, but I felt this was worth saying. Chris[/QUOTE]
