Bit of Help Please - PCGS Coin Value

I'm looking to buy a coin and have priced it in all my available sources.
But I don't have a PCGS subscription.
Would someone with access to the PCGS Price Guide give me the listed value for the following:

Half Cent 1811 Close Date VF-20

I've got prices from:
CDN - $1600
Red Book ('08) - $1400
Coin Values - $2500
Numismedia - $2130
NGC - $2130
Teletrade - none
Heritage - none
Collectors Corner - $2400 (VF-25)

The dealer has given me a price reduced from their published listing.
I wish to make a counter offer since theirs is higher than any of the above.
To be complete I'd like to include PCGS in my computations.

I'm not a member of PCGS but I have a price guide that I use for my coins. My book says:

1811 Half Cent in VF-20 is worth $1800


Edit: This book is pretty new, July 2010

 

Interesting.
If it wouldn't cause you grief, would you give me the name of your source.

 

Its just a coin book I picked up at a book store, all its called is Coin prices. Its a little like the Red book but it gets the job done for me.

 

I always price coins when i'm buyin by looking at previous auction records, mainly Heritage auction archives. It's all about what someone is willing to pay....

 

PCGS price guide has it listed at $2200 in VF20. IMO that is high.... is it the Alpine coin ?

 

Okay, thanks.
Since it's somewhat like the Red Book I suspect it has much the same problems that the Red Book has.
The main one is that it's out of date by the time it gets into print.
You might want to consider getting a subscription to Coin World.
It's a weekly publication that includes a monthly price list for US coins called Coin Values.
That helps it remain a bit more current.

Like I mentioned above neither Heritage nor Teletrade had a listing for a business strike 1811 Half Cent in ANY grade.

Thanks for the info.
That's the second lowest value (not counting the CDN).
Numismedia and NGC are slightly lower.
And, no, it's not the Alpine coin. I'm not familiar with them but I'll take a look.
This one is from JJ Teaparty.

 

Never use Coin Books, magazines or outdated CDN price guides . Search the Auction Archives of the Major Auction Houses such as Heritage, Stacks, Goldberg coins etc, and ask here if you have questions.

 

Coin Prices is Krause's equivalent of the values that show up in Coin World, or Coin Values. Stand-alone monthly magazine, been around forever, and the prices are retail.
