<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1753511, member: 112&quot;]Darryl about the only rule of thumb you will ever get for problem coins is the same one I have given for years and in probably 100 posts on this forum. That is - anywhere from 20% - 80% of what a problem free example would bring. Real world numbers that I&#039;ve watched for, oh, 25 - 30 years, support that estimate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now you&#039;re gonna say - but that doesn&#039;t tell me anything, that&#039;s too big of a range. Well, that&#039;s what I was trying to tell you. You just can&#039;t refine it any better than that because of all the variables involved.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Always remember - if the normal range that you see every day for problem free coins, and I mean all coins, can vary as much as a 100%, and on some occasions I&#039;ve seen it even be more, what else can you possible expect the range to be for problem coins ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Part of the problem people have with wrapping their heads around this idea is this - people tend to think, because they want to believe it, that there is some magic number that any given coin in any given grade is worth. But that is not the case at all, it simply isn&#039;t true. The value of any coin, in any given grade, will fall within a range of numbers, and that range can vary as much as 100%.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And I&#039;ll say it one more time for those who still do not understand what that means. It means if you take any 2 coins, exact same grade, graded by the same TPG, one of them might sell for as much as double what the other one sold for.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So how do you get a rule of thumb out of that ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
