[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 4613271, member: 42034"]Coin dealers are strange creatures. They seem bent on ridiculing and being rude to their clientele. Maybe collectors also have a self flagellation bent? Eventually it becomes too strong for collectors in one particular area and they move to another collecting area. I did this with US coins. It seemed that unless one was prepared to plunk down $40K at every single meeting with them, US coin dealers would have nothing to do with you. Thus I moved to foreign coins. Now the same thing is happening with some foreign coins. I have one dealer that I've been trying to buy this same coin from for 3 years now. You would think that after one or two years, if nobody else would pay his price, he might become more flexible??? Nope. Thus my advice to you is that you need to give it at least 3 years. If bugging them after 3 years doesn't work, it may be time to move on and look for something else to buy.[/QUOTE]
