<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 724288, member: 16994"]In my opinion it depends on when and what you were selling. From my experience talking to some big national dealers recently the bottom is falling out of some of the market at the moment. A good example is 1938 D walking liberty half dollars. These coins are still bid in the greysheet for $90-$120 in lower grades but I personally saw an entire roll of no problem VG-F's sell for $55 a coin last week. Other examples of coins like this are 1921 and 1928 peace dollars and semi key Lincolns. In a strong market a low bid would almost always mean that a dealer is trying to get you... but in a market like the one we are in now it might mean some softness. This transaction was dealer to dealer so there was no buying from the public involved here. It's just what they are worth right now. Don't get me wrong there are some pretty crummy people in this buisness but sometimes a low offer has to do with something that the general public doesn't understand and that they dont write about in any publication.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
