    10% over purchase price will probably be 500% less than they are worth. I would ask to look at the coins.

    If so, and I'm a regular customer & I trust the dealer...#2.

    If I'm new to the shop, then probably #3.

    I would ask to look at the coins. Then, ask for a price on the ones I wanted.

    Offer him 10% under his cost. In this market he will be happy to turn them.
