<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3429790, member: 84595"]I go to many coin shops and one coin shop that has a decent variety of coins in the under $300 range. They are usually properly graded according to photograde. They are currently priced at full retail Coins Magazine pricing for the grade. Right above the price are the words "MAKE OFFER". I usually cherry pick varieties. I never tell the dealer what variety they have. I sometimes ask "What's The Best Price You will Accept". They quote a price and I pay their price. Over the past 64 years I have visited many local coin shops and coin shows and have bought many coins. I also like dealers at flea markets. They seem to be very reasonable. I also like dealers who don't read the variety books. I buy many Morgan and Peace dollars and when in a new LCS or show I'll ask if they have any VAM varieties. Of course I like when the dealer says " I don't do varieties". 12 years ago I bought an MS-61, 1878 Morgan VAM 44-A Triple Cotton Blossoms for $50. It was marked by the dealer $65. Read the book before you buy the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
