<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benhur767, post: 3063080, member: 36818&quot;]Usually a coin from dealer stock, which the dealer acquired at auction, will be marked up to perhaps double the auction result. Sometimes much more. I know this because I&#039;ve researched auction results for many coins I&#039;ve found in dealer stock. A well-known dealer whose table I visited offered a coin for $600 at a coin show in 2012 for the same coin that sold at auction for under $200 in 2002. This was his show price, because the price on the ticket was $725. Yes, it was a scarce type, and prices had gone up between 2002 and 2012, but not that much! Also, I suspect he had it in his stock for a long time at that price. Dealers are in business to make a profit. They can&#039;t make a profit and afford to attend shows if they sell their inventory at the same prices for which they acquired it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
