  Coin Values as a reference, huh?
  
  Funny how he doesn't point out that Grey Sheet Ask is $1350. Probably just an oversight, right?
  
  By the way, Heritage sold a VAM 5 in an NGC-65 holder for $1035 (including buyer's fee) in May this year.

  When in doubt, don't.

  You have a good point there!

  do what i did:
  
  i had the same situation recently where the dealer used Coin Values pricing to get his "deal" across. I told him i already had that coin (which i did), but countered by saying: "you're an honest dealer, and i wouldn't mind giving you first crack on a couple similar coins." he said "sure!". I quickly tested him by giving him Coin Values pricing on the two in question and lowering my price quite a bit below CV pricing but still quite an uptick about Gray sheet. He quickly referenced Gray sheet pricing and what the coin was "worth". I said "gray sheet, but what about Coin Values?" as he began to stammer about, i hung up on him.
  
  just reaffirms my experience with some dealers; selling to them, they will use whatever "proof" they need to show how little the coin is worth. when buying however, it is the CV or PCGS price guide they like to use.

  Well, I'd tell the dealer, I know where your head and money is at:
  
  
  1. Where the sun don't shine......
  2. Gone up in smoke
  
  take your road show to the next town.
