<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 314001, member: 11467&quot;]It completely depends upon the coin and the dealer, and as much as people would like a simple answer, it doesn&#039;t work that way.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I try to handle especially nice coins and often pay over CDN &quot;ask&quot;. While some dealers will stretch more than I do, many others won&#039;t pay over CDN &quot;bid&quot;. And the coins we carry might vary considerably in quality and appeal, even if the assigned grades are the same.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, certain coins and types are far more likely than others to be able to be bought at or close to &quot;bid&quot; levels. Generic coins which are typically available in large quantities might even be available at CDN &quot;bid&quot;, but rarer and/or more popular coins might not be available at anywhere close to &quot;bid&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can tell you that buyers (whether dealers or collectors) who insist on sticking to a particular/modest percentage above &quot;bid&quot; will probably end up with common and/or unimpressive coins in their collections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
