<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1985259, member: 112&quot;]Oh I agree 100% that plastic has huge impact Vic, there is no doubt of it. But it only has a huge impact to plastic buyers and those who do not have the knowledge to know better. And there&#039;s a whole lot more plastic buyers than there are coin buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowledgeable collectors and knowledgeable dealers, they would know that dime you&#039;re talking about was in different plastic. And they wouldn&#039;t pay 3 times the amount.</p><p><br /></p><p>But yeah, there scenarios where a dealer might. For example if he had a buyer waiting in the wings that had already said what he would pay, he&#039;d buy it for him. Or if a collector was playing the registry game and he need that coin in that slab to up his rating, he might buy it. All kinds of things and different scenarios can play out.</p><p><br /></p><p>But these coins you&#039;re talking about in the auctions, where do you think they came from ? Sure, an individual can offer up coins in the auctions, but where did he get those coins to begin with ? Nine out of ten times it was a dealer. And speaking of those auctions - who do you think the auction company is ? They are a dealer. And the only thing they are doing is putting all those coins up on an electronic bid board just like the weekly bid board you will find in most brick and mortar coin shops. So when you buy those coins in an auction, you&#039;re buying from a dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same game, just played away instead of at home <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
