<p>[QUOTE="mmc44mag, post: 699769, member: 19246"]Any coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Several coin dealers in the Greter Seattle area have nice coins-many of which are being offered above sheet & book value. That is the current market trend right now as coins are popping all over the place on every grade and price range. If you don't think the coin is worth the ask price- make a reasonable offer. Don't expect everyone to show up @ a major event and offer their coins at wholesale, that's defeating the basic purpose of the trade industry. When you're in over your head- doggy paddle- and learn-watch the trends. The economy claims to be improving- but that is not substantiated with the unemployment figures- increased spending, soaring debt, and a health care bill coming which will transfer secured account holdings of trillions over to private industry in exchange for debt, long term credits= currency will be pulled,gold will be confiscated, a new pan american currency will be issued- and many old rare coins will jump to priceless status.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
