What grade and price would you give

Ok, emailed the dealer and he said he'd take €360, i don't really want to pay more than €300 for it, any suggestions to try and work him down a bit without disrespecting the coin to much lol?

You said above you would START at €300? That implies you were prepared to go higher? For what it's worth, I think it is an attractive coin, so it's really up to you how much you want it. But you may wish to assure yourself it is 20/19 before shelling out your hard-earned. €300 is about £250, which doesn't seem excessive, especially if it turns out to be the rare variety.

As for haggling, we can't tell you how to do that. The relationship is between seller and buyer, which is you and he.

Well i emailed him and asked him how much he was prepared to come down to firstly, and he replied €360, i have since replied using some of the comments from this thread and said i'd be prepared to go to€300 and that i have bought from him before at a premium. He is a coin dealer so i'm sure he knows it is a 20/19, although its not as visible as some, so we shall see what tomorrow brings. A €100 rebate would be good though :-)

Fair enough - but don't lose the coin over €25 in the end, if you really want it. As I say, it's attractive.
