<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 3014071, member: 87737&quot;]In re to the CDN greysheet, I have a .pdf open at all times of the series I collect. I reference it constantly when I&#039;m looking online. But, even though many dealers will let you look at it, many will not, so using it at shows can be challenging for some.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage has the current CDN listed in the auction heading, as well as in the detailed description and the Price Guide section of each coin they are offering. I have found that to be invaluable for coins that I don&#039;t have a copy of the CDN for. I believe the Price Guide section also is the most current, even if the coin you are looking at was sold years ago, so you&#039;re up to date even if it&#039;s not a currently offered coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Now the trouble is</b>....</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP is talking about raw coins. While all non-TPG price guides are <i>supposed </i>to be based on the coin, and not the plastic encasing the coin, (almost) all buyers will heavily discount a raw coin from the lowest guide price out there. I think you&#039;ll agree that that statement will stand true in 95% (or more) of the coin series out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>And using guides from PCGS or NGC when discussing raw coins is absurd. They (the TPG&#039;s) have a belief that once they grade a coin, it&#039;s value goes up, and their guide prices are inflated to reflect that belief. That&#039;s why at the bottom of the PCGS price guide pages, you see this:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So where does that leave the OP? IMO, what [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] said is his only realistic price guide available to determine actual liquid values: <b>ebay sold results for ungraded coins</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is ebay sold results the best guide for everything? No, as we all have already suggested. But, for his purpose, it&#039;s going to be the best and only option.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
