<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 712377, member: 19748&quot;]I recently purchased a lot on Ebay(yes I know!) in which the seller guaranteed more than the value of the final bid of coins from this estate collection.&nbsp; It was under $10 so I did not stand to lose much.&nbsp; Based upon her estimation, the coins would have been over double the final bid.&nbsp; She had a 1955 D BU cent in cardboard holder with MS 65 and $12 written on it.&nbsp; I explained to her that were this coin slabbed from a recognized grading service it would indeed fetch about $12 or so, but that 2010 Red Book value for a loose coin like this was .60¢.&nbsp; She writes me back and tells me Red Book, being an annual guide, is out of date before it&#039;s published and that she uses Coin Magazine because its values are up to date.&nbsp; So I suppose that since the 2010 Red Book was published that the value of a common Lincoln Cent has risen 2000%?&nbsp; Wow that book really is out of date!&nbsp; Does Coin Mag inflate prices, or does it base MS prices on realized values of SLABBED coins?&nbsp; I&#039;ve never read the magazine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
