<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 4542433, member: 74863"]The last ones I saw that fit my criteria were at the Gettysburg Coin show. The same dealer had both of them but he wanted $200 and $250 over the gray sheet. I thank him and started to walk away when he offered a $25 discount. I stopped, turned and politely as I could said no thanks. You are way over the gray sheet. I walked away as he was muttering something.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I did more of the show I noticed that a lot of buyers just walked past his area of display. Fairly close to him but out of earshot was a great dealer. He asked what happened so I told him. He grabbed his gray sheet and showed me that he was indeed well over priced on both coins. I looked at what he had and ended up buying a very nice Busy Half at a very reasonable price. He even offered me a nice discount, so I did what any sane coin collector would do. I bought it! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
