Favorite Coin Value Website

What's everyone's favorite website for rough value estimates?

I had liked searching on Numista for a while years ago, but it seems their estimates are really low compared to NGC.

I just want a rough tool to see if I'm in the right ballpark when bidding on coins I like.

Thank you!

I jump between Numismedia and CoinFacts (PCGS) to get an idea of what “top side” should be. Most helpful for me though is Heritage Auctions past results and the CDN’s called out when tracking/bidding lots.

 

How about this for example: Draped Bust Large Cents - Price Charts & Coin Values (usacoinbook.com)

 

CoinFacts and Great Collections auction archive for me.

 

I like CoinFacts because it gives you retail and then right underneath auction results and which auction house. As an example, you’ll see stuff listed at $700 and right there the latest auctions were $475, $530 and $510

 

Heritage Auctions archives gives you Price Guides: Greysheet, CPG Retail, NGC, PCGS as well as their own auction results.

 

I look at NGC and PCGS price listings as well as "recent auction sales". Generaly gives me a good idea on how much i need to spend to get the coins i want

 

I don't use a website.
I use the Greysheet.

Is it a proof?

 

A lot of collectors hate eBay, but because of the volume of sales they have, I think their "SOLD" prices are a sign of the times, so I rely on those to contemporary values.
Remember, the "SOLD" prices, not the asking or current list for sale prices.

 

Yeah, I'd guess many people don't know they can use the "Advanced" search option at the right of the search bar on ebay or "Filter" then show more to get the check box up for recently sold auctions only. This is no doubt a quick and easy way to see what people are paying for certain coins.

There's always exceptions. I mean a MS70 commemorative will pretty much be the same as the next so it's direct comparisons. But classics with unique features and varying eye appeal within the same grades, will have varrying values.

I've noticed NGC has fallen behind on updating many of the coins in their price guides. Compare half cents there with PCGS price guides. I find myself checking PCGS too because of this. They do have recent auctions underneath but keep in mind some of these auctions are for details coins. It pays to click on the auctions and see how good the coins were for those prices. Often times only a handful have sold in the past several years in higher grades. This can cause dramatic adjustments.

 

I often check silver value for coins and NGC seems good for me.

 

I use a combination of things, but I too like the sold sections of eBay and the coinfacts auction results. As a world collector, I find numista all over the place price wise. The NGC world coin reference is useful, but if they have a price guide with the coin, it's often too high in my opinion, so I use it mostly for looking up KM#s. But, the coin market is strong right now so I see lots of things going for well over what I thought they would!

Among others

 

I use quite the combination myself. I use a site called NumisMedea. I do auction searches on Heritage and Great Collections. I make a list of 6 most recent sales. I have redbooks for the last 7 decades for historical pricing. I also have about 2 dozen reference books that get involved. It takes a village.....
