<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 2833392, member: 88212&quot;]Those who advise buy the book before the coin also advocate look up the prices before the purchase. That saves them from overpaying but causes them to miss out on many great purchases. In the real world once you open the book in front of the seller you commit yourself to paying full book value. In the real world when you run home to check the book you come back to find the coins gone. Most collectors know in the ballpark what a coin is worth to them. If the price is in that wholesale range buy it and do your checking on your own time. I&#039;ve seen non collectors bring me entire sets in albums that they bought for less than face value. One lady took everything quarters and up and silver and left the dimes, nickels and pennies since the seller wanted five dollars per album. I took the day off and headed to the sale an hour after she hit it. Every coin was gone as I would expect. I then helped her sell her coins for a fair price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
