Buy the appropriate CDN for those coins and bring it with you. Most dealers you can trust when they tell you their grade.

Ask what they are asking and compare to your CDN...it's cool if they see you, they don't mind and shows your a smart buyer.</p><p> </p><p>Be aware that some coins are better and may have higher price points and less margin for bargining....every coin is different. It's fine to counter offer, but don't expect them to come down automatically. It's also rude to counter-offer every coin you ask about...DON'T DO THAT. Reserve that counter-off for a coin you're prepared to buy right now.</p><p> </p><p>Finally, don't have a negative attitude like the dealer is a con-artist. You sound quiet skeptical and on the offense from your post.
