<p>[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 898968, member: 25357"]I've been collecting for about 6 years now.

Looking at the Redbook values makes me feel good in that I can say I usually got a "deal", and those figures are what I use to insure my collection, as those prices reflect the replacement value of my coins. </p><p> </p><p> But I recently bought my first copy of the Bluebook, in theory what dealers will offer to pay you for your coins....jeeesh how depressing! I think I could do better than Blue Book prices if I just listed the coins on EBay with no reserve and let the market determine their value.
