    Their handy to have buy prices on many coins when you buy sell frequent like me a coinfacts subscription well worth it too between the 2 and my library of numismatic books I can cover much of what I'm interested in. Tho honestly I'm only interested in prices in coins I buy for resale much of the great toned stuff I buy for me there really is no price guide

    The value of the Grey Sheet is to give you an idea, a baseline, but an accurate baseline, of what a given coin is worth. But even with the Grey Sheet as an aid you are still required to have a good bit of knowledge for the Grey Sheet to do you any good.

    The Grey Sheet provides values for average, run of the mill, but good for the grade coins. But it doesn't give you any values for coins that are low for the grade, or coins that are high for the grade, or coins that have attractive toning, or coins that have any other positive,or negative, aspects. You have to be able to see, identify, and judge, all of that by yourself. And if you can't do it, then you might as well throw the Grey Sheet away.

    Not to beat a dead horse, but...

    Looking at the Weeklies, it seems that I would only need two (2) weeks' worth? @Mainebill helped me out with some of the print versions he didn't need (thanks!) and I looked at some other copies as well.

    p.2: Silver & Gold Commemorative coins (all the same)
    p.3: Either "Modern Commemoratives" and ASE's or "BU Rolls"
    p.4: Morgans & Peace Dollars (all the same)
    p.5: Morgans (MS66+ & DMPLs), BU Trades, Ikes, SBAs, Sacs, Pres $'s, Proof Sets, Mint Sets, Peace $'s, and some set and roll prices (all the same)
    p.6: "Uncirculated Type Coins" & "Good thru MS-60 Type Coins" (all the same)
    p.7: "Proof Type Coins", Mercs (MS60+), Walkers (AU-MS65) (all the same) [Note: there were also price trend charts on different coins since 1980 that differed every week)

    So I *really* don't need four (4) weeks' worth of the Weeklies, right? Or did I do something wrong?
