Same guy also didn't reveal a group of shiny Peace dollars was milled until I noted it. No indicator on the signage or anything. Opinions? Just innocent errors? I never haggle with this guy. Should I? Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Chaser Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 10/25/2010 9:49 pm It seems to me like you are becoming a collector that is very knowledgeable. That comes with study and comparison of coins. Some people never get a trained eye but keep trying to improve. When at a coin show or coin shop I feel that you should be able to haggle, with respect, if you want the coin. Predetermine what you want to pay and make a fair offer. A ridiculous offer will usually shut the door. Its a beautiful happening when buyer and seller agree on a price. Good Luck!

They are sold out now but that is a significant price increase for something that was just selling for $15 cheaper a week ago. I wouldn't do it rudely or demand a cheaper price, if he wants the sell he will meet somewhere in the middle. Report this Post to the Staff
