<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1426195, member: 15309&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage charges over $8 for S&amp;H so the resultant prices are much higher than those auction listings indicate.&nbsp; Don&#039;t worry I fixed your links above to show the actual prices.&nbsp; Now you may consider Heritage &amp; Great Collections &quot;dealers&quot; but I don&#039;t; they are auction houses, but that is okay.&nbsp; You have successfully found a few that are marginally cheaper than the one I posted on E-Bay for $64.&nbsp; However, since that post, I posted a current example with a BIN of $50 with free shipping.&nbsp; It makes no difference that it is my listing despite what that other guy says.&nbsp; Furthermore, that other guy set the bar at $33.50, or did you miss that?</p><p><br /></p><p>The end result is Doug that we could play this little game for a long time.&nbsp; The truth is that making a blanket statement that E-Bay will cost more money than other sources is foolish &amp; incorrect.&nbsp; At any given point in time, it is possible to find the best deal on a given coin from any number of sources, including E-Bay.</p><p><br /></p><p>The more important point is that finding a coin for the cheapest price is a terrible way to collect coins.&nbsp; Typically when you buy the cheapest example of a graded coin, you are getting an overgraded piece of dreck that is lacking in eye appeal.&nbsp; And you are the one who always points out that &quot;not all MS65&#039;s are equal&quot; so it stands to reason that you should agree with this principle.&nbsp; Personally, I follow the mantra that great coins are not cheap, and cheap coins are not great.&nbsp; Look at my collection of Jefferson Nickels and know that I paid a premium to the price guide for just about every coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
