<p>[QUOTE="Mike Thorne, post: 3248417, member: 56869"]You can use the monthly "Coin Market" in <i>Numismatic News</i> for retail prices, but you really should try to convey to friends what they could realistically expect to get from the coins. And that's not retail prices. I have my whole collection inventoried on the Heritage Auction site, and with each coin the site gives both wholesale and retail prices a la CDN and Numismedia pricing. It also tells you the value of the coin in the next lower grade and the next higher grade. If I want to get the wholesale price of a coin I want to buy (i.e., don't have), I simply add it to my inventory and thereby get all the prices I want. Of course, I have to remember to delete it from my inventory. Another free source of rather high retail prices is the PGCS Price Guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
