<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2781998, member: 68&quot;]This is about the same way I buy coins.&nbsp; But one big difference is dealers usually write a price that they&#039;d like to get on the coins and you can rarely get them for less than 60% off.&nbsp; If it&#039;s priced too high I don&#039;t even make an offer.&nbsp; I try to start with a few that he has priced close to what I&#039;m willing to pay and go from there.&nbsp; Some dealers just give you a blanket discount of about 30% if you&#039;re buying a bunch. </p><p><br /></p><p>I find it helps to be selecting coins that are slow movers for him. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve rarely seen the Sphinx coins in Uncirculated and used to ignore the XF&#039;s but now days I&#039;d even pick these up if priced right.&nbsp; I have a complete set of them in AU or better.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what they&#039;re worth because our catalog (Krause) is absolutely worthless for pricing.&nbsp; It suggests my aluminum bronze set might be worth&nbsp; about $600. But I have no clue if the real value is between $60 and 6,000.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
