<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1481825, member: 3726&quot;]Ricky - you can determine this yourself.&nbsp; Goto heritage and see what comparable coins go for.&nbsp; I do this after every trip to the local shop - especially on the graded stuff.&nbsp; As a matter of fact I do it when I shop online also.&nbsp; So if a dealer I like has a coin at $200 and I can get it for $100 from heritage - then I skip it.&nbsp; But If I can get it on heritage for $180 and $200 at a dealer - I buy from the dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line - sometimes no matter what you paid some will say you over paid for the coin.&nbsp; To me it is more important I figure it out for myself, understand myself and decide myself if I over spent.&nbsp; And sometimes I know it when I do it - but I want the coin.&nbsp; Sometimes not as much about the money as the coin and my collection.&nbsp; If you are really happy with the coins - then you did not over spend. At the same time it does not hurt to do the research.&nbsp; You also learn along the way. </p><p><br /></p><p>PS - It also helped me determine the local shop has reasonable prices.&nbsp; For example the last coin I bought was PCGS AU55 $1 gold - I spent $275 and on heritage the recent coin in this grade went from 275 to 322(with BP of course). So I did fine and this was without my normal discount - figure because I am going down there so seldom lately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
