Message:: [QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 6333173, member: 87737"]I like HA and GC. For both houses, I use the HA's "Heritage Value Index" as my guide. I ignore the "PCGS Price Guide Value", as I find that to just be way too high, and I also don't look (too frequently) at the CDN, as that, to me, is a wholesale guide, and I'm not a wholesale buyer, so I don't expect to buy at wholesale (but sometimes you get lucky). Thing with the Heritage Value is that it is an average of past sales of a coin in that grade, so I have an idea of what to expect. However, that doesn't apply when it's a coin in a grade that doesn't come up frequently, or if there is something 'special' about the coin that can drive the price up such as toning, labels, which TPG it's from, etc., which you have to assess yourself. Also, the HVI may not be updatedvery frequently in some cases. The coin the OP was looking at is a coin that hasn't been offered in that straight grade since 2015 (that's 5.5 years), and it has nice eye-appeal. It doesn't surprise me that it went for more than 2x CDN.[/QUOTE]
