<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2765229, member: 19165"]Attractive, original, problem free pieces will always garner a stronger price than their afflicted counterparts. Price guides are a good tool, but it is hard to generalize that "a price guide is an over-estimate." Price guides are adjusted, series get hot, series cool off. An over-estimated guide last year might be spot on this year. Far more accurate are auction histories.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, that 1914 in F-12 appears to be an attractive coin. It is probably worth a premium compared to its counterparts. However, if you look at Heritage sales, F-12's over the past couple of years have generally traded between $250 and $305. Ending in about 2013, there were a string of F-12's that sold for around $350. This indicates that the market has cooled off a bit for these, and the coin you have linked is probably more accurately valued around $300. You can see them here: <a href="https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=16&N=790+231+3183+314+4013+1588+65&expand=Coin+Grade&ic4=Refine-CoinGrade-102615#expand-16" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=16&N=790+231+3183+314+4013+1588+65&expand=Coin+Grade&ic4=Refine-CoinGrade-102615#expand-16" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=16&N=790 231 3183 314 4013 1588 65&expand=Coin Grade&ic4=Refine-CoinGrade-102615#expand-16</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Keep looking, and I wish you luck.
