<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 342665, member: 11467&quot;]It depends upon the dealer, the type of coin and whether the dealer bought the coin cheaply or not, among other factors.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, some dealers typically work on much smaller (or larger) mark-ups than others. And certain coins, such as generic gold type coins often trade at smaller margins than other more esoteric and/or less frequently traded and/or rarer coins. Also, if a dealer buys a coin cheaply he might justifiably mark it up more than if he had to stretch to buy it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The (edited for spelling) important thing for a collector shouldn&#039;t be the dealer&#039;s mark-up, but rather, whether the collector is getting the coin at a reasonable price or not. One dealer might mark up his coin by only 10%, but if he paid too much for it, the price could be higher than from another dealer who bought the same coin at a low price and marked it up 20%.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
