Chip for me, A dealer of coins is always going to present the best possible scenario for you. They are in the business of selling those assets for profit. Thats their bottom line and assume no responsibility to their customers for only selling them winners. It's a win-win for them. Thats not to say that one should not solicit the dealers market opinion, but he/she is only one of many opinions that should be solicited when making any tangible asset purchase.
