[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 318230, member: 8247"]srkjkd, I know exactly how you feel. Despite having collected for decades now, I only first sold a coin to a dealer this past year. Actually I sold quite a few to almost every dealer in my area (I found about 300 of the washing dollars with the missing edge inscription). I found out pretty quick who the honest dealers are and I'm pretty glad for it now. It used to be that when someone asked me for advice about where to sell something, I always told them to goto a coin show and ask every table what they would give for the coin, then sell to the highest (logic being that there had to be at least one honest dealer at the show). Well, now I know of 2 dealers I would recommend (this is out of some 20+ dealers I dealt with) if someone can't wait for a coin show. I formed my opinion based both on how they treated me, and how much they marked up the coins after I sold to them (I had my wife call around to the various dealers after I sold them the coins). I'm glad you got a decent price for your coin and gained a data point about one more dealer in your area.[/QUOTE]
