<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2667085, member: 59677&quot;]I&#039;ve paid over greysheet and under greysheet.

With his eye for coins, both were nice for the grade, definitely circulated but even wear and high VFs.</p><p><br /></p><p>One I bought a little over greysheet with HA&#039;s cut.</p><p><br /></p><p>One I bought after the sale (resale) off eBay BIN for less than it sold for at the auction three weeks earlier, where I was the underbidder at just about $5 over greysheet.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>WRT greysheet - it USED to be that buy was 10% back (below) greysheet and SELL was at greysheet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today? Be aware that the new ownership is making an concerted and unabashed effort to push the greysheet back to what it was - the price at which dealers would BUY clean examples at the grade, <b>sight seen</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bluesheet is the market for dealers to buy sight UNSEEN. That spread is the risk premium for not seeing the coin in hand (i.e. trusting the TPG).</p><p><br /></p><p>If that&#039;s the BUY prices, the reasonable expectation is the dealer would SELL a bit above the BUY price and thus above greysheet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
