Coin Talk

There is a NGC proof 65 franklin halve at my local pawn shop.

He wants $30 for it.

I like to buy locally.

What would be the best way to approach him and find a way to pay less?

I’m pretty sure it’s a 1957, which is $25 for proof in the redbook.

Although I can get the same coin (in the slab) on feebay for $23 shipped, like I said, I like to deal locally.

They way he priced the coin was by going on eBay and seeing that they were asking $35 for it.

Just because you ask a price doesn’t mean you will get it, and looking at bin’s on eBay isn’t a good way to price a coin.
