[QUOTE="chip, post: 1999190, member: 19122"]I think that both views have been aired pretty well, wether the words what is your best price is a shortcut to the best price. Now to a relative newcomer to the hobby, the rub is this; I prepared for the show, I looked up cdn, numismedia, and redbook prices before the show, I am looking for an Isabella quarter dollar, greysheet has an au58 listed as 375, the redbook has it listed at 450 and numismedia has it listed as 438 in that grade. I look around and find one raw that is in a flip with no price written, I ask what is your best price on this au58 isabella, the dealer looks at the coin and says that is an ms61 and I want 500, I tell the dealer I see some luster breaks on the coin the dealer narrows his eyes, puts the coin back in the case and says, now it is an ms-63 for you. I thank the dealer for his time and keep looking,[/QUOTE]
