<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2665765, member: 15588&quot;]As others have said, walking away was the right move. It sounds like the dealer attempted to play hard ball with you, perhaps to see how much you really wanted the coin. Of course he wants to make maximum profit, especially if he sees an interested party. In such cases, walking away remains the only weapon for the price tag shocked. Never get embroiled in a business deal that you don&#039;t see yourself potentially walking away from, because you&#039;ll likely lose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coincidentally, this weekend I paid under $100 for a pretty decent 1928-D Standing Liberty Quarter. I probably overpaid, but this hobby sadly seems to require overpaying once in a while if one wants to get what one wants. Expect often to pay AU prices for XF coins, or VF prices for F coins. Years ago, I purchased a silver 3 cent piece at an XF price and the piece actually looked XF. This rarely happens, at least to me. The dealer looked surprised at the price, written in his own handwriting, then laughed and said &quot;oh yeah, I bought this as a VF.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
