<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 1726001, member: 29452&quot;]I searched and searched to put my comment in a thread similar to my coin shop experience today.&nbsp; I don&#039;t understand why some coin shops when it comes to selling they will give you a fair price and at the same time on coins ( that are graded ) boy are their offers less than fair.&nbsp; Well to me at least.&nbsp; Today I took&nbsp; an UNC Silver Cert Star Note Series 1957 a VF 1928 Series F Red Seal $5.00 Note, a 1963 Red Seal Star note, and a 1929 $5.00 National Central Bank of Baltimore, MD, note.&nbsp; A 1986 statue of liberty half dollar w/ box and coa, the 1989 congressional silver dollar and half coin set w/ original box and coa.&nbsp; 1 1868 3 Cent nickel.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2012 S Proof Sacagawea pf 70 NGC and Also the 2010 S Proof Sac pf 70 NGC, 1992 D Columbus silver dollar, and the 1984 olympic silver dollar.&nbsp; On all but the notes and graded coins, they offered 114.00.&nbsp; Which I was okay with because most of that stuff was given to me from friends who didn&#039;t want it, or relatives that once collected but abandoned the hobby. So the cost to me was nothing.&nbsp; On the other hand, they offered 15.00 a piece for my graded Sacs!&nbsp; and 26.00 a piece for the olympic and columbus coins, Almost forgot, both those coins were PCGS MS 69.&nbsp; I thought I&#039;d get at least 30 for those two.&nbsp; Anyways, the shops attendant made a comment that the sacs will never be anything.&nbsp; I also had a 1951 Booker T Washington MS 64 I sold him.&nbsp; He was fair with that one, 25.00 and I paid 20.00 for it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I asked what he gave for pf 70 ASE&#039;s he said 65.00!&nbsp; &nbsp; 45.00 for raw OGP Proof ASE&#039;s.&nbsp; I was a bit shocked, but not too much.&nbsp; I learned a thing or two today.&nbsp; I kept the Sacs and sold the rest.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also took in my UNC 1926 P 2 1/2 gold indian head.&nbsp; I took it to the Baltimore coin show and was going to get it graded.&nbsp; The guy took a quick look and said it wouldn&#039;t grade because there was a spec at the end of the eagle&#039;s tail.&nbsp; He suggested NCS before sending it in to grade.&nbsp; I asked what he thought the grade was if it hadn&#039;t had that speck.&nbsp; He told me he wasn&#039;t supposed to tell me but he did anyways, and gave it an MS 63.&nbsp; Today the coin shop told me the reverse was all scratched up, but the obverse was GEM.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t taken that coin out of it&#039;s holder since I bought it up in Michigan.&nbsp; I told him what NGC said and he was surprised.&nbsp; Grading really is subjective.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the silver cert he gave me ten, on the 1928 he gave me 7 ( i got it for face )&nbsp; the 1963, 20.00 the 1929 national he offered 30!&nbsp; and the condition, of this note is XF I&#039;d say, though I am no pro.&nbsp; There&#039;s no holes or tears.&nbsp; Sure it may be a common National but 30.00?&nbsp; LOL.&nbsp; I kept it.&nbsp; &nbsp; I brought a brochure home with me.&nbsp; They do have some deals going on right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
