[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2163891, member: 59677"]Sure, because CoinWorld shows high RETAIL prices, he uses that to justify his prices. Greysheet shows dealer-to-dealer (wholesale) prices - both bid and ask. Theoretically, Greysheet bid is what the buying dealer offers and ask is what the selling dealer asks for and the real transaction is in the middle based on the coin. Practically, since any schmoe like me can by the occasional copy for 13$, what happens is this: (especially at coin shows) Greysheet bid has become the go to #, with up/down adjustments for spectacularly good or bad coins. So you'll hear dealers talking about 10% back of [Greysheet] bid. Meaning they will buy it from another dealer for 10% less than Greysheet bid and sell it to you over the table at bid (see what a deal you are getting, ask is $220, for you $195). And if it gets to the store, they will price it at ask or a little more.[/QUOTE]
