<p>[QUOTE="digibyte, post: 1752709, member: 56443"]I have a dealer who is honest and if he buying he'll grade your coin conservatively and give you about 75 to 80% which is better than some others in my area. I sold one coin and then went to two other dealers asked them what they would give me if the coin was such and such a grade and both said they would offer less than I got for the coin. He gave me $42 for one coin and was selling it in his store for $50 and he may take less if he gets an offer. The problem is that eBay has a huge selection so you can find some good ones there and you just have to be very careful and look over everything with a fine tooth comb before you make a bid. I've made a couple of mistakes and bid on a coin and sometimes won and found out it was not good. In fact I just got one today that has quite a bit of corrosion. I should have looked closer before making a bid. I can probably sell it for close to what I paid for it, but I'll probably still ending up losing a few bucks. I know I need to be more patient and much more thorough in checking the details of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
