<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2476759, member: 78153&quot;]Considering our prior post exchanges, it should be obvious to you that your post is a mischaracterization of my comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am telling you and everyone else here is that to the extent the Red Book or Krause are reflective of market prices, its <b>probably</b> because dealers are able to set the market level. I have already told you numerous times before that if these coins were to be offered at a no reserve auction, they would not sell at the list price most (<b>not all</b>) of the time but usually probably for less.&nbsp; For US coins, I suspect it would happen less often but it applies to both though I cannot tell you every instance.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I was making the distinction between &quot;lower&quot; and &quot;higher&quot; priced coins and &quot;scarce&quot; versus &quot;common&quot; coins is because &quot;scarcer&quot; and &quot;higher&quot; priced coins don&#039;t tend to sell very often in a retail setting.&nbsp; You know this as well as I do.&nbsp; So obviously, no price guide is going to be accurate for any coins which fit this criteria.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was not referring to coins such as those in your prior post here recently where some $700 1982-P quarter (presumably one of the PCGS MS-67 because it sure isn&#039;t any others) worth $700 is listed for $15.&nbsp; Given that annual price guides don&#039;t include all Sheldon grades, it should be apparent I was not using anything like this as an example.&nbsp; You also know this and know that I know it but (once again) choose to intentionally confuse the issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also find your response interesting even after our prior debates where you used the Krause prices to attempt to support your claims.&nbsp; You were the one who was trying to claim Krause represented the real price then, not me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
