nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/05/2005 7:31 pm A Deal is where both seller and buyer agree on a price. Both parties may or maynot be happy with the outcome. Therefore any coin purchase is a "deal" just my Two Cents worth. Report this Post to the Staff
zakgold Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 02/07/2005 06:48 am It is almost like when my son asked me if we live in the "middle-class", I told him, "Sure we're middle-class...I make a dollar more than somebody else, and somebody else makes a dollar more than me." A deal to one may not be to another. Also, I have bought coins for a good dollar years ago that was pretty much (at the time) "fairly" priced, but today, those very coins look like great deals!

Right now I'm collecting military tokens, so a deal to me is just finding what I'm looking for whether it's retail or not. Back in the middle 80's a deal to me was just getting what a seller said a coin graded at. And that only happened about 25% of the time and never at whole sale. One time and one time only a seller sent me and AU58 that was Unc and even today is in an old ANACS as a MS62. This happend shortly after the ANA adopted the AU58 grade and I suppose the dealer saw something that wasn't really there and it called AU58. I really doubt that such things happen often. I think in most cases if you just get what you paid for and for what you really want rather than some "alternate" that you really don't want, your doing well.

Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 02/08/2005 7:25 pm If you find something you like, you can afford it, and you'll get enjoyment out of having it- then it's a deal! What is it about coin collectors and OCD? I seem to think I have a bit of that myself. I go nuts on my co-workers if they move anything on my desk. Rachel [:p] Report this Post to the Staff
