<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1290343, member: 17555&quot;]Can you see the difference in the pics ? Likely had a bit to do with the difference in the price,,, which do you think best reflects the coin in hand ? My guess is the one&#039;s on da&#039;bay. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen HC sales hit the bay for significantly more that they sold at on HC also,,, I agree that it does go both ways and did not want to say that HC sales are one sided on the high side compared to the bay. Although selling for a bit less appears to be the tendency from what I have seen in the past... </p><p><br /></p><p>Guaging &quot;common&quot; date coins value based on the bay price is just something I&#039;ve learned over a long time. It&#039;s been my experience that more common date coins, especially in nominal condition, will sell for much more at TT or HC than they tend to realize on the bay. My guess is that this is because bay&#039;s auctions are non-stop, where hc and tt auctions close by day and are often &quot;event&quot; driven,,, which drives more excitment,, which drives looser bidding as some get caught up in the game. I think folks consider thier bids on the bay a bit more and are less apt to be loose (as a general rule,, always exceptions that could be pointed out).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for coins that go in the first few sessions of a premier auction at HC... for those I&#039;d use HC price to guage the value in a second. The bay is deep in high end coin sales, but is puddle deep compared to HC sales of these higher end coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
