<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 9760, member: 487&quot;]Another tactic that works pretty well is ask your dealer what the greysheet bid/ask is for the coin you are wanting to purchase. The greysheet is used as a good guideline for us dealers to buy and sell coins. The prices in the greysheet are for buy and sell to other dealers only. DO NOT EXPECT TO GET THESE PRICES. </p><p>If you use the example of the 1880-CC Morgan in say Uncirculated, the greysheet bid/ask is 375/395. If the dealer believes this coin to be near MS 60 or MS 61 their retail price would be $410 to $420. </p><p>Red Books and Blue Books are great for referrence, but lousy for prices. </p><p>Do not be afraid to ask your dealer for deals. Good customers are almost as hard to find as good dealers. Both need to work together so that all concerned are happy. </p><p>Most of us dealers are happy to move the coin. Like GDJMSP said, it makes room for the next one. This is how we make our money. (Turnover)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
