<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3626858, member: 26302&quot;]Very common actually ma&#039;am. Non-coin people almost always pay more for coins than coin collectors do. I have told the story here before, but my favorite dealer growing up always had a guy coming in for junk. Ben told me its a local auctioneer who every week buys one or two details gold coins, and a bunch of crappy morgans. Back then the $5 gold pieces went for $100, and crappy morgans went for $5. I went to the auction house, and the guy got at least $200 for every half eagle, and $20 or more for the morgans. He did this for YEARS, and people kept buying even though they could have bought all they wanted from the coin dealer for $5. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ben just shook his head, keeping back anything better for real collectors, and letting the idiots buy the dreck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
