<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3013932, member: 92083&quot;]Many on here won&#039;t say it because they are dealers, and they don&#039;t like an educated buyer as much as they might claim because it is counterproductive to them making more money, but the printed Grey Sheet (not the online one, which is retail prices) is something that is actually very good and lists most coins in most grades before 1965 or later ones that are major errors or varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>At coin shows I go to in PA and NY, negotiating using the Grey Sheet is acceptable both at local coin shops and at shows. It is almost expected that buyers will be using that as a baseline despite Grey Sheet really representing wholesale prices. Many dealers even let you look at it If you ask them. But many dealers find those prices as acceptable when selling, at least where I live.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if a coin is especially stunning in a certain grade because it is bright, great color, great eye appeal, fewer marks for an older coin, etc., expect to pay a little more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Red Book is great to learn about the coins themselves and what the major types, errors, and varieties are but tend to have inflated prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is a particular type and denomination you like, buy a book about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
