[QUOTE="jody526, post: 16061, member: 578"]Sounds like cladking has presented his case pretty well. If I may, I'd like to relate my own experience with buying from dealers. It almost never fails, if I only want one coin that a dealer has, he will always tell me that he has to have the price marked on the holder. On the other hand, if I am buying several coins, and spending a fair amount of money, I won't even have to ask for a discount. The seller will automatically say, "Forget the price on this coin. I'm letting you have it for $X.xx. And usually he will start throwing in modern Mint and Proof coins to sweeten the pot. So, I think the point is, it's usually to your advantage to buy in bulk. I know we can't always afford to do that, and some collectors, (including myself) prefer to take their time and buy one coin at a time, but, I can only tell you what I have experienced with the local dealers in my area, and the ones I have come to know through mail order correspondance.[/QUOTE]
