<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2840599, member: 56859"]Hmm. I didn't expect the price of the OP coin to be so high! Yikes! I agree with gsimonel-- wait for a similar coin at a reasonable price, or see if the dealer will accept a reasonable offer. Sometimes a collector gets attached to a specific coin for reasons not easy to express, and perhaps that is the case here, but I bet you can find one you like just as much for a half or third of that price. If you are determined to get this coin, try making a lower offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several CoinTalk members are dealers or casual sellers and they are honest and upstanding, with reasonable prices.
