Today I found a 1993 Proof American Silver Eagle, in the government purple box with COA for only 36 bucks at my local coin dealer. The guy was in a good mood and cut me a break.
I find it really helps being young in a hobby filled with mostly people above the age of 25 lol ;) (no offense).
But seriously, it seems like coin dealers are much more willing to work with the younger generation who show a good amount of interest.

That's awesome!
I went to a coin show to pick up some normal silver eagles to complete a set and no one would budge below $42, I bought eight of them and I feel I should have waited.

1-2 dollars over spot is a great deal!
I got a 1992-p 1/10 oz gold eagle proof from a coin show yesterday for 175, which I thought was a great deal, but thats like 20$ over spot lol

yes, nice deal.
Go back soon and see if he wants to help out a new gold collector! Maybe you can walk out with gold at spot.

I paid twice that a month ago for a 2010 Proof Eagle and I was really happy with my deal. Great buy!

I am not a coin dealer, but am a dealer in another hobby of mine. I find it so very easy to give some great deals to younger, interested people. The other dealers and I often talk about this and it seems pretty common. It makes us 40+ year old prune-juice-drinkers  feel good to be able to help a young'in!  |

I am 25 and the coin shop around me usually gives me the exact same deal as the next jo smo. I even gave him advice on the last recent silver drop. He said thanks, but didn;t adjust the price
