@PerryHall Yes! Thank goodness, but even today, coins in holders, top tier holders, I still hear it. Its an unconscious effort to begin negotiations in a downward spiral.. I do what an old time dealer taught me to do with these people.

One problem is the US Mint refers to them as pennies, so this is a battle you'll never win.
EBAY pics of reverse upside down, I'd rather look at the coin right side up then the TPG logo. I usually pass on coin then take effort to copy photo and use Picture Rotate function in my software to see what the reverse looks like.
10) At a show, wanting to see a dealer's items, but there's some old guy who hasn't taken a bath in a week and he's spread out across the dealer's display all sorts of things he's trying to sell. Coins in flips, Silver Eagles, some Morgans, at least one Greysheet magazine, and his notes. And he is moving like molasses and takes a couple hours of the dealer's time.
9) Walking into a coin store and having to avoid tripping on all the assorted junk, stamp books, old toys and games, ancient tools, and other debris just to get to the coins on display.
8) The dealer who tells me the 1885 Morgan I'm trying to sell was clearly over-graded by someone who was likely in a bad mood/had food poisoning from lunch/was high on crack, etc. even though the coin was in a PCGS holder with a green CAC sticker.
7) Same dealer as in #8 who is selling every coin in his show display for at least 20% above the CPG retail price
6) Dealers who honestly believe all modern coins are junk, and that any coin made after 1940 or so is modern.
5) The dealer who, when I asked how much he would pay for my MS-70 burnished ASE, threw it down on his display and exclaimed, "This isn't worth anything! Aren't they all 70's at this point?"
4) The dealer who, when I wanted to sell a 1983-D Olympic Dollar in MS-70 acted like I was trying to sell Grandpa's collection of colorized State quarters and told me it was worth nothing to him. (If you agree with the dealer, please look up the price, the sales history, and then tell me why. I'm seriously still wondering!)
3) People on coin message boards who have never collected before but act like they've just won the lottery because they found a 1976 quarter, think it's worth thousands of dollars, and are looking to cash out.
2) Collectors who think this hobby is a get-rich-quick method and who don't want to crack open a book or do any research of any kind. Also see #3 above.
1) An uncle of mine who told me that he did not need my advice on selling some gold coins (50% of which rightfully belongs to my still-living mother) because he was collecting coins at the time I was born in the 1970's and he used to read all the trade publications at the time and was being mentored by a friend's dad who was an executive at a major telecommunications company. Please note, I have known this man for almost 50 years and have never once been under the impression that he collected coins of any kind.
Regarding number 8 above, I know this dealer, I have been to his house and I know how he thinks..., I disagree with him, yes a him ,but i also learn a lot about grading too!
Regarding number 4 above, who is buying these for big bucks? serious question, thanks!
When you are a dealer, you can’t buy everything that is offered to you. A dealer should be polite, but when one dealer might make a market for something, another one might not.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Absolutely, there just has to be some midde ground between not needing the additional inventory and throwing the coin back in the owner's face.
Mine pertains to Instagram and probably Facebook coin groups too.
When collectors (not legitimate dealers) are trying to sell a coin and you make a reasonable offer and they reply with “I paid $XX for it so I can’t take less because I’m not going to lose money on the coin.”
This is a hobby, not a side hustle. Taking a loss on a coin shouldn’t be a bad thing. Hobbies usually cost money and people do them because they bring them joy, not because we’re all trying to make money.
I’ve sold so many coins over the years for way less than I bought them for simply because I was ready to move on from them.
I’d rather sell for a loss and put $100 towards a coin I want now rather than wait 6 months to maybe sell the coin for $125 because “I CaNt TaKe a LoSs.”

I'm not the one paying that kind of money, though the buyers are out there, if you check recent auction site sales. As for me, a couple years ago I got an amazing deal on the 1983-D Olympic dollar in MS 70. All I can say is it was a slow night at Great Collections. So, since then I've tried to see if I can sell it for a profit. After all, the Philadelphia one is the same coin except for the mintmark. The recent sales history on GC and Heritage is very positive, but I'd rather not go through that hassle if I can avoid it.

if you talk to this guy a year later he still has the coin but he forgets he offered it to you before and now the story is he needs to get 2X so he doesn't lose money.
I had a guy wanting to sell me a bunch of ASE's a few years ago and he had to get 30 to break even , silver was $23 He offers the same coins a week ago now he needs $40 . I said these are literally the same coins I refused to over pay for before . You could have exited at a profit at any time since then are you sure you "need" to sell?
I call these guys ratchets . Their break even price always goes up with a rising market then they get stranded at the generational peak because they never want to leave a nickle on the table .
There are guys still sitting on silver that are stuck on Hunt brothers pricing from 1981

I’m not igniting anything, it’s common sense. I’m saying that these coins were not circulated to the point that they naturally wore down to look like that. I have never received a half dollar in change. I once got $100 of halves from the bank to search for silver. I found nothing and it took forever to get to put them back in commerce. No one wants them. A silver one if seen would have immediately been snapped up. Come to think of it, I have never received in change a fine or lower grade pre-1970 cent, nickel, or quarter and these coins are always found in change.
@PerryHall said:
Another of my pet pevees are dealers that advertise coins that are P.O.R. Don't they know what they want for the coin?
Totally agree as I hate not seeing the price and it creates a situation where the price is different depending on the potential buyer which can be very aggravating to find out...
That said- it could also be helpful to protect the potential future buyer that doesn't want what they paid out in public (for any odd reason).
Classic circulated coins that look original in every way except the surfaces are glossy/shiny from an acetone bath or a wash or some kind.
I know it is quite often the best decision depending on the coin, but a lot of folks say that there is no downside to acetone use without qualifying that there are also instances when the coin should just be left alone, organic matter and all.
This is not really a peeve, but when you look up a cert number on the PCGS site, I wish they’d show the date that the coin was graded / slabbed. Same for other TPGs.

I do think there could be an exception for Halfs that may apply.
Yes, the multiple of half is halves; however, if use you are referring to a Half as a name, the plural would just get an s or es. A name doesn't change when it becomes plural. For example, if you were referring to two people name Cactus you would not call them 'Cacti.' For example: On the list of names I had 3 Suzys (not 3 Suzies), 2 Johns, and 2 Cactuses (not Cacti).
Edited to add:
So in conclusion, I think sometimes you can refer to having 2 Kennedy Halfs could be valid although it's probably better to say 2 Kennedy Half Dollars.

Coins in flips, Silver Eagles, some Morgans, at least one Greysheet magazine, and his notes. And he is moving like molasses and takes a couple hours of the dealer's time.
9) Walking into a coin store and having to avoid tripping on all the assorted junk, stamp books, old toys and games, ancient tools, and other debris just to get to the coins on display.
8) The dealer who tells me the 1885 Morgan I'm trying to sell was clearly over-graded by someone who was likely in a bad mood/had food poisoning from lunch/was high on crack, etc. even though the coin was in a PCGS holder with a green CAC sticker.
7) Same dealer as in #8 who is selling every coin in his show display for at least 20% above the CPG retail price
6) Dealers who honestly believe all modern coins are junk, and that any coin made after 1940 or so is modern.
5) The dealer who, when I asked how much he would pay for my MS-70 burnished ASE, threw it down on his display and exclaimed, "This isn't worth anything! Aren't they all 70's at this point?"
4) The dealer who, when I wanted to sell a 1983-D Olympic Dollar in MS-70 acted like I was trying to sell Grandpa's collection of colorized State quarters and told me it was worth nothing to him. (If you agree with the dealer, please look up the price, the sales history, and then tell me why. I'm seriously still wondering!)
3) People on coin message boards who have never collected before but act like they've just won the lottery because they found a 1976 quarter, think it's worth thousands of dollars, and are looking to cash out.
