<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 583270, member: 112"]Another part of the problem you are having Ed is what you are trying to sell. You said it yourself - the older stuff sold well, but you are having a problem with the modern stuff. Well, there's a good reason for that too - few collectors want the modern stuff. Advertised prices for moderns are almost always inflated, often greatly inflated. And few dealers even want to mess with it because they can't sell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then of course you have the current coin market to consider - prices are dropping. Even in the recent <i>Coin Values</i> the headlines are - "Values for High Grade 20th Century Classics Dive" - and that from a publication and an author that is normally always upbeat and very bullish - even in bear markets ! And the classics they refer too are Walkers, Mercs, Buffs etc. Now if prices for coins like that "dive" - what do you think prices for moderns are doing ? You'll be lucky to give them away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah you may be dealing with some low class dealers - but there other things to consider as well, like the coin market being in marked downturn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
