<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2485438, member: 74282&quot;]It&#039;s not terribly uncommon to see dealers doing this kind of thing. Either they don&#039;t know the market value of what they&#039;re selling(which could well be true, this guy is a modern dealer after all) or they just hope to take advantage of someone who has no idea about the monetary value of these things. Considering he only sells slabbed coins, it should tell you that the dealer doesn&#039;t have the requisite skills to determine authenticity and grades of what he sells either and for both of these reasons, is simply not worth the increased cost that comes with buying from a dealer and the best those of us who collect ancients can do is to simply avoid dealers like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I buy from the dealers and auction houses I buy from because they don&#039;t play pricing games like this and they&#039;ve shown me that they know enough about the coins they&#039;re selling to be worth the price of buying from them and I recommend everyone at least consider what makes a dealer worth doing business with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
