[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 274804, member: 8247"]When I was trying to sell all the missing edge inscription washington dollars, Dealers got very upset when they found out I was having my wife call and inquire about getting one of those error coins she saw in the USA Today. She was told by most dealers to expect to pay about $100 to $200 for an ungraded one. Then, I found out just how unscrupulous some dealers can be. I had some of them no budge from $20 after examing the coins. In the course of my expedition to sell these coins, I found two shops to be honest. One was Jim's Coins in Madison and the other was Harbor Coins in Winthrop Harbor. The quotes they gave were not necessarily the best, but they commensurated with the prices they listed the coins at once they put them in their cases. Pleasantly enough, they listed their coins cheaper than all of the other dealers I did sell to. Also of note were a coin shop in Glenview and one in Arlington Heights. They did pay a fair price, but I didn't get that warm welcome feeling like I did at the two I mentioned above. Those few weeks taught me which coin shops I truely plan to avoid. When I came in, all they saw was Sucker and Profit written on my forehead and treated me as such.[/QUOTE]
