Now, I would not attempt to force them to sell me a $500 coin in a $20 pick bucket, but a $100 one I believe it fair game. I have been known to pull out coins I know are valuable but I simply are not interested in and let the dealer know these were in his pick bucket. Sometimes they put them aside, sometimes they toss them back in. If they toss them in, I buy them. They may not be my interest, but if they are worth 5 times the asking price I am not stupid....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
