<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1980949, member: 26302&quot;]I agree. Its the same as in any business. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look at it this way, there is X dollars to handle a coin, and then X needed to carry the money. So, if the dealer needs $50 on average per coin for overhead, and 10% to carry the money, he will evaluate his purchase that way. If you bring him another ho hum lincoln cent set, or group of proof sets, he will need to deeply discount these since he will not get his money back for quite a while, and will have a lot of overhead tied up. However, if he can buy a nice coin for $5000 and have 6 collectors begging him to sell it to them for $5500 he can do that all day long and make a great living. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its not just a function of percentages, but every coin a dealer touches has an expense associated with it, a flat fee he needs to generate per coin to cover rent, salaries, utilities, and heaven forbid a little profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
