[QUOTE="TonyCoin, post: 2231449, member: 75639"]I know, right? That kind of blew my mind that they paid me the grey sheet "bid" on the Wheat Penny set, but refused that Indian Head 2.50. I'm guessing they are basing the demand on whatever customers in the area are desiring. I $2.50 Indian Head coin could wind up sitting up on his shelf for a good while without making him money, all the while he's aware that people will pay good money for the wheat pennies. *shrug* It is a mystery how he would want some, but not others. I may have to start to look at other dealers that aren't so finicky about their choices. I mean advertising "You buy US coins and currncies" then no owning up to it by saying, "Well, we don't need those...the market isn't in demand for those." To say what he said about the Indian Head was quite baffling. I don't want to waste my time driving there to be turned down as they have to see them. Rather silly to completely turn away a good coin and even give a minimum for it? They wouldn't even give me a minimum amount, just "You can go ahead and keep those, we don't need 'em." I try to probe with him on the phone what I have, but they say they have to see it first to determine if they want to buy.[/QUOTE]
