<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 687234, member: 19423&quot;]BNB, yes, my above post was a generalization.&nbsp; Was just trying to say that if you are firm in only paying up to Greysheet bid prices, you will miss out on many many beautiful coins that are probably worth the higher prices being asked by the dealers.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sure, it&#039;s possible to build a good looking collection at greysheet prices, but it will be very very tough, and I don&#039;t think you can do that just through Heritage unless you go to lot viewing and see the coins in hand first.&nbsp; Remember, many dealers make their living by attending these lot viewings and buying up the nice coins that sell at fair prices for their clients.&nbsp; So yes, it was my generalization that if a coin is only selling at wholesale price in an auction, it has likely been looked at by many dealers and passed by them as not being that great of a coin to be worthy of a strong bid.&nbsp; It is rare that a really spectacular coin sells for a really low price, but it can and does happen from time to time of course.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Where you can probably do really well is if you can take the time to view the auction lots ahead of time in person, especially those coins that are really nice looking coins in the $250-$1000 range that look great in hand but have poor online images.&nbsp; Coins in this price range may not be looked at as much or as closely as some of the higher dollar coins and you may get lucky.&nbsp; Scored a couple of great looking coins really cheap that way, even though it was unfortunate for the consignor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
