<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2156341, member: 71338&quot;]Even though it goes both ways, collectors don&#039;t have the same leverage as a dealer. The dealer dictates the price. The customer can remark the coin is a lower grade and try and haggle, but I don&#039;t see much of this at the shops I go to, maybe shows though. In any case, the dealer still decides. I think it would be better if a dealer said, &quot;sure, this coin could be an xf, but I&#039;m going to offer you Vf prices for it.&quot; That&#039;s what kinda happens, but the dealer won&#039;t typically say this. It is understood that dealers have businesses to run, and some might even offer a VG price for the coin. I don&#039;t dwell on the morality of this, I just see it as part of the whole game. As serious collectors, we all know the value of education and what it does to help us. We can decide the best route to buy or sell, and by the same token dealers do things that maximize profitability[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
