<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1582874, member: 26302&quot;]Paul, I understand your coins, and probably mine, are not of that category necessarily.

The majority of collectors, though, are not in that position. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is not even accounting for all of the HSN, Littleton, and just plain overpriced dealer stuff that eventually has to get sold to a dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, overall, I think my 50% number is fair if you consider all of those things. I am still comfortable with it as an overall buy/sell spread for ALL coins sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
