[QUOTE="Zzyzzyth, post: 822267, member: 21495"]Geez Shoewrecky, now you got me wondering. The dealer I go to always grabs the redbook. I just thought that was how it was done. Redbook = what you pay, Bluebook = what you get if you sell. I have heard this greysheet mentioned several times before. Where do I get one? I should have known something was up the first time I visited him asking for advice on a coin that turned out to be simple MDD. When I asked to him to explain the difference between MDD and and a doubled die, he said he "wasn't sure". The main reason I went to him is because A) this shop has been around for years (starting to wonder why now), and B) he's the closest one to me. Besides a couple small-time dealers at a nearby flea market, the closest real coin shop is about 45 minutes away. Sounds like I better start calculating gas into the equation.
