[QUOTE="kanga, post: 2144064, member: 9270"]For my inventory I need consistency, i.e., I want pricing from the same source. The assumption is that the same source will price the same way, a certain percentage over the real world. [U]Auction results[/U] are great for precision but some results will be years old. Or modern coins will not be included (go ahead, find auction results for an MS-65 Red 1992 Lincoln). The g[U]reysheet[/U] has too many gaps, nothing modern and nothing above MS-65. [U]Coin Values[/U] from [I]Coin World[/I] covers a LOT more coins but it too has holes. I've looked at [I]Numismedia[/I] online and they appear to have the greatest coverage. [B]Is there anything that is better?[/B] As for Real World values what I'll do to convert from these somewhat inflated retail sources is to compare what they quote to auction results for the same item. Then I'll calculate the percentage markup and apply that to all of the other items for which I can't get recent auction results. That should at least get me figures that are in the ballpark. Does this make sense? Is there something better?[/QUOTE]
