<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverfingers, post: 1698097, member: 21653&quot;]If you have one barber quarter I would say keep it, because you can never have enough barber quarters! I will shoot from the hip on some advice for two different scenarios. <b>1.</b> If you only have a couple coins you want to sell, but them on ebay. Make sure you take good pictures and give a good description of the coins condition. <b>2.</b> I learned a long time ago that if you want to get in the coin trade (or any trade for that matter) you have to learn to do as the big boys do. How do you do this? Go to lots of coin shows, forums, and shops. Pretty soon you will realize that most dealers (that I know) use the <u>grey sheets</u>. The grey sheets are pretty standard for dealer buying and selling, which they deem as &quot;wholesale&quot;. The grey sheets are set up as different values for conditions, then broke down for a bid price and a ask price. That being said, they all price their merchandise different according to the grey sheets and most of them buy at different margins from the grey sheets. You also have to know how to grade coins at a reasonable level to minimize mistakes. You will learn who to do business with and who not to do business with. I have dealers that I buy a lot from and sell a lot of coins to. Those dealers usually price everything to me around &quot;bid&quot; or &quot;5% back of bid&quot;. I know other dealers, no matter what will always price things to me at &quot;ask&quot;...and I just say thanks and go on. Becoming a regular buyer/seller with a heavy dealer can be very beneficial in the long run. <b>Long story short; to be a player in the game you have to know the game.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
