<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24498585, member: 101855&quot;]Yes, this is what it was like when I was a dealer. There were a lot of collectors who expected to buy a Grey Sheet prices. What they failed to realize was that the coins that were really nice for the assigned slab grade sold for more. Quite often they ended up with the &quot;C coins&quot; when they wouldn&#039;t pay more than Grey Sheet &quot;bid.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>For really scarce or rare coins, the Grey Sheet numbers are often a &quot;wish list.&quot; Dealers who had a good list of clients would more than happy to buy high grade early U.S. coins for the numbers on the Grey Sheet. If you really wanted those coins, you had to pay more. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then there was stuff like rolls of Indian Cents, Buffalo Nickels and Liberty Nickels in Good that were worth a lot less than the Grey Sheet numbers. Ditto for &quot;dead areas,&quot; like Proof sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
