<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1377720, member: 26302&quot;]Very good post sir. It gets back to my point that it depends. I know everyone wants a deal and wants to pay wholesale. The nasty little secret is those who insist on paying below book will usually get substandard coins. Book value is an average, and many coins are sold above book. These aren&#039;t always to idiots, but superior coins in terms of condition and beauty regularly bring book value plus. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if a person negotiates down from $325 to $275 on a coin with a book value of $200, (but it is a superb coin), then fine. I just didn&#039;t want people to think negotiating down to below book was the goal of all numismatic purchases. If they get into that mindset, then in many collecting areas all you will be able to purchase will be substandard coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
