Sorry for all the questions, but I am hooked! When bidding on a coin from a dealer, collector, on ebay etc. etc. what source should I (not a dealer, but only a new collector) use to compare the price to - what price should I shoot for? Should I shoot for the greysheet price, the blue book price, the red book price, a certain percentage of the PCGS online price etc. All opinions are GREATLY appreciated.
