<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 1045713, member: 28107"]There is no way that you are going to put together a top notch set at 10% above ask price. Most Greysheet prices are for average quality pieces, with superb pieces selling for much more. I'd also like to see someone purchase quality (MS65++++-MS68, with an emphasis on the latter) coins at Greysheet (if the Greysheet even lists these materials - it has been a while since I have looked at it). My experience is that sellers will become angry, and when you have a small population of coins with a high demand, then you don't have a lot of options. In fact, I have seen people paying above Numismedia and PCGS Price Guide values for certain issues particularly with the Draped Bust or Capped Bust series. You won't believe how many people have become enraged at me for offering a bit above Bid to Ask prices on various high grade coins (even some silver commemoratives that haven't been doing too well). For these materials, I believe that the auctions are more representative.</p><p><br /></p><p>My comments only apply to higher end material. Some of the more common stuff may be sold at deep discounts, I'm not contesting this. And by common, I mean coins typically valued at less than $750 (maybe even $500) or modern pieces (including those that may be scare as condition rarities).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
