<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shortgapbob, post: 314680, member: 6088&quot;]This is a very interesting and informative thread.&nbsp; I do not mind showing someone the greysheet at a coin show and discussing my pricing in relation to the greysheet.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The problem is that the market prices aren&#039;t always clear to people.&nbsp; The &quot;stated market rate&quot; listed in either wholesale or retail price guides are not always an accurate depiction of the market.&nbsp; There are coins that I would not pay anywhere near greysheet levels to purchase.&nbsp; However, there are coins that I would purchase as a dealer at over retail trends prices, because the stated prices are not true indications of the market.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mark made some excellent points about the quality of individual coins.&nbsp; I tell our customers that every coin is a unique item.&nbsp; If one looks at the auction results of any particular coin in a specific grade, they will find that prices for a single coin in one grade will very widely depending on the quality of the individual specimen.&nbsp; For example, a half dime recently traded at auction at double the price of another half dime of the same date, grade and holder.&nbsp; The one was just obviously much nicer, although the holder did not say so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
