<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 324962, member: 8247&quot;]First, let me say there is a huge difference between a coin shop and a coin show.&nbsp; At a coin show, the dealer has hand picked what he puts on display.&nbsp; I have every expectation that any price put on something on display at a coin show is current.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now with a coin shop, things could have been sitting around for years.&nbsp; The better coinshops will continously update the prices on items in their main display cases as these are in your face, but there is an understanding that what they have in the back in boxes or bins may have old price tags, no price tags, other dealer&#039;s price tags, consumer&#039;s price estimates, etc..., but the better dealers will make an effort to make it clear which items they have &quot;refreshed&quot; the packaging and which items have not been evaluated by them yet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, the best method I&#039;ve seen is anything in the coin shop&#039;s own standardized packaging (like a 2x2 flip with their logo) has a price that is honored as is without question regardless of how outdated it is.&nbsp; All coins on display contain the coin shops own standardized packaging.&nbsp; Anything without the coin shop&#039;s standardized packaging is kept out of sight and is available upon request.&nbsp; Such a system make it clear even to the novice which items have been priced by the coinshop and which items have erroneous price tags from previous owner&#039;s of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
