<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Don P, post: 3077032, member: 84878&quot;]In response to the original question:</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been into numismatics and bullion collecting for about 10 years now.&nbsp; Not nearly as long as most of you, so I don&#039;t mean to disrespect or anything from my observation as a collector/seller:</p><p><br /></p><p>-&nbsp; When going a local coin dealer or coin show, I&#039;ve noticed a lot of the same guys there selling the same coins. I&#039;ve offered what I thought was a fair price, based on past experience and ebay sales.&nbsp; In return, most dealers take out the Red Book and knock off 10%.&nbsp; Now, I was born at night, but not last night <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; The prices these guys offer are retail and not many people, if any, buy any of the coins.&nbsp; After this experience, I went online and found similar coins with the same grade for 20-30% cheaper that what they were asking for.&nbsp; They need to be more realistic on their asking prices.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- I&#039;ve seen the value on a lot of high dollar coins drop throughout the years and I think it&#039;s caused by more coins entering the market through estates.&nbsp; For example, I remember 1928 Peace Dollars going for over $400, where you can get the same coin now for under $200.&nbsp; More supply.&nbsp; Will there be an abundance of coins in the future when the baby boomers start passing down their estates to their kids, who aren&#039;t interested in the coins, who knows?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
