A tip that will save you some money...some coin dealers know it's a magician coming in and the price will jump, as we seem to be the only ones interested in used, soft coins, and knowing that we'll pay top dollar for magic...so what I do is this: I visit a dealer with one of my soft coins that I would like to match..."How much is this worth?" Dealer: "10 bucks" Me: "Great, I'll take five then..."
BUT, there's a coin dealer here in Vegas who I've developed a relationship with and sets aside coins for me that he knows I'm looking for...that's really the best way...
