<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimedude2, post: 2665640, member: 17539&quot;]Well, after reading excerpts of The Art of the Deal, my negotiating skills did not pay off and the result was not a win-win situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>At a table at a show, I saw a 1928 standing liberty quarter in MS63. It was a beautiful coin - shiny, appealing, a nice specimen for the grade. I thought it would be a nice coin to have, so I asked for a price, which was $215.&nbsp; My reaction was of sad surprise. I looked at my gray sheet and I see $155 for this coin. A heckuva delta indeed! I thought $180 was fair and he would not budge. This coin is not all that rare, and he was giving me the lecture that &quot;nice coins cost money, the gray sheet is not accurate, I have $180 invested on this&quot;, etc. Here is the thing - if I sold this coin, he would go to his gray sheet and offer $140 at best. </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is - generally speaking, for this coin that looks nice for the grade, is $215 a little steep of a price?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
