[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 318551, member: 8247"]The Cave Troll, I fully agree with your statements. When I was selling the error coins, I had dealers give me stories about how hard they will be to sell, how they weren't worth what I was asking, etc... The funny part is, I gave the exact same story to each and every dealer. I told them how I got the coins, and that I felt it was fair for them to only pay half what they expected to sell them for. The problem I had was that most flat out lied to me about the difficulty in moving them and how little they were worth. Then when my wife called, the most dishonest ones were looking for $200 for a raw washington dollar with a missing edge inscription (for a coin they just paid $30 to $40 for). While the two I would recommend (Jim's Coins in Madison, WI and Harbor Coins in Winthrop Harbor, IL) gave me about half what they were trying to sell them for. I felt that was more than fair given the potential uncertainty and the costs associated with running a shop.[/QUOTE]
