[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2629303, member: 78298"]While all dealers are not dishonest, there have always been a high percentage of greedy sharks in the coin dealer business and in the gold/silver buying and selling business. People tend to be greedy scum. Sorry that's just how it is. Besides my opinion this is from many decades of practical experience. As for the OP. Do not be in a rush. When you know what you have and what it is worth, then you will be able to judge if an offer is fair. For example, you have a coin that is worth $100. Well a dealer is not going to give you $100 because they have to make money. An honest dealer will offer you $50-$60 and a dishonest one will offer you $20-$30. You could sell the coins 1 by 1 on EBAY and perhaps make more money, but with EBAY and Pay Pal fees, shipping costs and all the work involved it's not for everyone. Prices are down right now for coins. They will probably be worth more in the future if they are quality coins.[/QUOTE]
