<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 862173, member: 11854&quot;]I hate to post a &quot;me, too&quot; type of response, but I heartily agree with Conder101 and Leadfoot in that the PCGS price guide <i>is not </i> the level at which they will buy a coin back off the market.&nbsp; The price guide is a &quot;feel good&quot; guide that is supposed to reflect full retail value for accurately graded, problem-free coins in PCGS holders.&nbsp; When one utilizes the PCGS buyback program one agrees to allow PCGS to come up with a value and to either accept or decline their terms.&nbsp; Many times their terms are to give the coin back in a lower graded holder with cash compensation, but other times if one simply wants the cash then PCGS determines the value.&nbsp; This value is lower than the PCGS price guide.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the OP, unless you want slabbed coins only, you may be better off looking through the thousands of extant, original proof sets on the market at shows and at shops and then pick the best of what you find.&nbsp; Oftentimes you will pay less for the entire proof set in order to obtain a coin of similar value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
