<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1711464, member: 3726"]Well - this post help me make up my mind. And I agree with Doug. Buyers gain and sellers loss. My local shop does not attribute coins when they come in the door (some of major varieties they will). Now once I sell them a large cent if they discover it is an NC coin - good for them. I should have known that myself. At the same time you can cherry pick this dealer and he told me he welcomes it - mainly because it generates return customers. I know for a fact if I sold them a lincoln at MS66 - they would just glance at the coin, go look it up and offer a price. I have watched them work and have sold quite a few coins with them. Now if later on they really study it and find it is an MPL - again good for them. I have also heard that sometimes at shows dealers will walk around and cherry pick other dealers - I see nothing wrong with that. Too me this is not the same as an old lady coming in, selling silver and getting 10% of melt. This is only my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
