<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1702268, member: 26302&quot;]Very nice coin Tom. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, its tough for a dealer to be a collector. I am sure you are wise enough to know this, just never mention it to your customers. I had a dealer once who I was looking through his offerings. I was asking some questions, like &quot;do you have any early Sassanid?&quot; and the like, and with every question he had an answer like, &quot;yeah, I bought two really nice ones a few months ago. They are in my personal collection, though, as I really like high grade, nice looking coins.&quot; Well don&#039;t we all? I walked away in disgust, and have never sat down again at his tables, though I see him around at shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point is, the customers want nice, high grade coins as well. Why do I wish to buy from someone who is going to cherrypick every coin I might want, just to sell me the dregs he doesn&#039;t care for? I would rather pay my money to a dealer who will give me a fair chance at nice coins that come into his possession.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said Tom, I know you are bright enough to know this, just thought I would share in case any other dealer who also collects is reading this. If you collect coins, don&#039;t brag about your nice coins to clients. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
