<p>[QUOTE="chip, post: 1782401, member: 19122"]Well I still do not understand how buying something for less than catalog prices, (and which catalog) lowers the value of a collection? And why I am confused is because it is sounding to me like a complaint against collectors who never pay full retail. Or that the OP would prefer to appraise coins if they are all sorted through in a way to make the appraisal easier.</p><p> </p><p>It still does not make much sense to me, though some of the other comments do, like I can understand if someone has 100 1976 proof sets because he liked them and the value listed is like 8 in the redbook and he paid 7 for them, most of the local dealers have tons of them already so they would not offer much for em anyway, forget about the book value. But if he had random coins that he bought for 20% under greysheet, he should do pretty well selling them to the right dealer[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
