<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3221860, member: 36230&quot;]Fair points, Jeff, but if there was a simple one-size-fits-all answer everyone would be doing it. My greater hoped-for point was mostly that one can essentially hedge their bets by learning and thinking outside the box than by assuming or taking a one-size approach even if there are no guarantees.</p><p><br /></p><p>To try to address the stated concerns:</p><p><br /></p><p>-An honest and knowledgeable dealer, should one take this route, should be able to recognize a truly special example, but the question is if they&#039;ll pay up for it. If honest and they&#039;ve a fair market it, there&#039;s no reason not to for a coin capable of selling itself at strong money to the right buyer. Of course not all dealers are this way, but still when one searches out <i>added value</i>, especially if they didn&#039;t have to pay up for it, this puts them in a better position than simply buying a potentially maxed out label. This holds true regardless of what the assigned grade may be, and if one is willing to go out of their way to maximize potential, the same should hold true for selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>-If one cannot afford to wait a reasonable time for the right buyer, they probably shouldn&#039;t be in the market for such coins to begin with. I understand and respect the fact there are exceptions, but this takes us back to the aforementioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>-When it comes to inherited coins, all bets are off no matter what it is. Someone approaching the situation wisely will do so regardless just as someone wanting instant money will often just take what they can get. Paying more for a coin at the time of purchase in no way guarantees one will recoup a greater percentage of that price at the time of sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
