<p>[QUOTE="srkjkd, post: 318237, member: 7248"]i had no problem w/ price as i bought close to bullion price. it was more than i anticipated and i made a good profit. it is the experience of going thru the same old my coins are better than yours...all the collectors coins were overgraded, the dealers are always graded right, ect,ect.. yes you do buy the coin and not the slab. if a dealer acts like this to a first timer, it drives them out of the hobby. they think everyone is crooked and they can never enjoy the hobby for fear of getting ripped off. i have just seen this and worse types of behavior too often from dealers. coin dealing should be more than a retail venture.. it should have service, be honest, help the customer, and fair price transactions as well as a trust relationship. each time a dealer has a customer in his shop, it could develop into a customer for life relationship. i just think if we can educate and keep newbies informed and know what to expect, as well as grading skills, they will stay in the hobby and that benefits us all in the long run....only my own opinion. also, i just brought the morgans so i could show him the type of circulated ones which i prefer (darker, steel gray toning and even smooth wear) i had no intention of selling. i was using them to help buy from him!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
