Message:: [QUOTE="illini420, post: 670160, member: 19423"]I've actually upgraded several coins in my sets by trading my lower grade coin + cash for the higher grade coin...  Depending on the dealer and the quality of your lower graded coin, I've found this to actually be pretty easy to do.   Sure, don't expect to get a credit of the full retail price of the coin you're trading in and at the same time expect the dealer to haggle on their askinng price of the upgrade coin.  But I've found that I've been able to make much better overall deals by trading towards the upgrade than I would by trying to sell the lower grade coin separately to another party.  Like I said though, it's much much easier if the coin you're trading in looks great for the grade and has nice eye appeal :thumb: It's also fairly easy to do this with dealers that you deal with often.  I've found that if they want to keep your business and keep selling you the higher dollar coins, they are much more willing to accept your trades for reasonable prices.  Doesn't make good business sense for them not to treat you as fair as they can.[/QUOTE]
