I took a 1932 S quarter to a local dealer to verify authenticity. Figured the best way to see if an offer was made. I played "rube" and said "I heard these were hard to find?" He told me that he had several "in the back" and they weren't worth the cost of grading. LMAO   Honest trading is one thing, deception quite another. At least in my mind. And it would seem that honest guys get lumped in with the others ? Perhaps a more standardized pricing ?  As to eBay though. I would rather pay 15% in fees than hand it to a dealer for 25% of it's worth. Even junk silver that sells for only 11 times face is much better than the 8x a local dealer offered.We all would like our hobby to self sustain of course. But the only facet of mine that does is the roll searching. I cannot recoup the cost of going to the bank, but the coins themselves are priced right. gary[/QUOTE]
