[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 689938, member: 16510"][b]This is interesting but remember,[/b] This is interesting but remember if the reputable dealer has a coin that is rare, is perfectly graded, is key or semi-key date, that is hard to find and in every way desirable plus one you really want badly and one he is not eager to sell, the price should become less and less of an issure - there are very few bargins in the coin buisness when it come to price - you get what you pay for but for the coin I desribed above if you pass you may live to regret it and if the dealer knows this also you'll be lucky indeed just to be able to aquire it for whatever he wants - you gotta know when those coins come along. Heres another more simple way to understand what I am trying to say: One of my dealers, a big dealer bought a 1922-NO "D" Lincoln at FUN one years in a perfect AU-50 - a fabulous coin, the best one I had ever seen. He always sets up at my show and showed it to me one day. I said what will you have to ask for it? He said, "it doesn't matter I have three men who won't even ask how much they will just take it at whatever I ask. You see on many coins it's just "if you get the chance" and not at about "how much". This is one of 1000 finer points of coin collecting/dealing that one only learns through time and work. The bargin may just be having a shot at buying instead of the final costs![/QUOTE]
