<p>[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 14906, member: 708"]Actually yes i do. I know dealers that have say 100 or so of one coin, like you say some are nicer than others all are however marked up at the same price... if sold sight unseen you get what he sends. The thing about this is, it works both ways, i can sometimes get an absolute beauty for the same price as a less appealing specimen, and sometimes vice versa. Having bought many BU coins on the sight unseen from a dealer's bulk lot of them i sometimes get a good one sometimes a less than average one, but i would say it's half half.</p><p><br /></p><p>You forget that you guys are in a society where you look for the minor differences and once you become aware of them you find them hard to ignore. But when you are just used to a wide range of UNC coins of varying quality all priced exactly the same you can cherry pick the ones you want at no extra expense, i for one would like it to stay this way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
