steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 03/25/2010 11:03 am I hope nobody is misunderstanding my comments. I never said coins can't be bought a greysheet prices. I'm was only commenting on what the greysheet prices represent. Dealers get a lot of inventory from non-dealers at below greysheet price levels. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 03/25/2010 11:08 am Yup, I understood you Steve. The different kinds of Greysheet confused and still confused me though, I was looking through the Monthly Supplement for coins that were in the CDN Quarterly. Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 03/25/2010 11:14 am Yeah, you gotta learn which coins are in which cycles. Fortunately, the occasional weekly & monthly covers just about everything I follow...at least for now. On Walkers they put some grades in the weekly and other grade ranges in the monthly...so I print both those pages, scissors/scotch tape/photocopy a one page deal I can keep in my notebook.

rustyboy Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 6:56 pm Yeah, twice a year I get all of them and get the current and monthly supplement quarterly. Just enough to stay relatively on top of trends. Report this Post to the Staff
925dealer Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 10:08 pm Let me add that it is much easier to get greysheet prices when you visit your local dealer if you spend some real money. If you do not buy a lot of coins from us we dealers are not as open to discounts as we have to make a profit as well. If all you are going to do is cherrypick a couple cheaper coins and then ask us for discounts you won't get very far and will actually tick us off if you get too pushy. I had a guy come in yesterday asking for bu Roosevelt dimes. I gave him excellent prices (below greysheet) on a couple of the rarer dimes from my very finest book (they should grade ms 65 or better) but he wanted to buy them for bullion price. I don't think so.... Becoming a dealers regular customer and friend goes a very long way as well. When I know you by name that significantly increases the possibility of getting greysheet prices or at least a good discount when I see you every week or two.

wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 04/05/2010 6:29 pm I wasn't flaming the Red Book or the people who use it, just pointing out that the prices are usually very high in most occasions, and I don't think I've ever paid above or at Red Book prices for any of my SLQ's.

mopar74 Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 1:50 pm As I buy almost exclusively from one dealer, I'll sometimes ask for his previous Greysheet once he's received the new. He's more than happy to pass it on to me. Report this Post to the Staff
