<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 8237222, member: 40340"]This dealer is NOT wrong... Many coins have listed values that you could NEVER manage to buy the coin at... I'll give you 2 great examples from my collection... 1st my most recent...MS70 2015 W MOD Dime.... PCGS lists this coin for a whopping $22 and NGC for a mere $70... Yet I wish you luck buying one for under 100 BINs top out at about 170 and auction prices seeing sales as high as 150 and averaging 100+</p><p>Another coin (not modern) is the 1857 large cent, grey sheets and TPGs list the lower grades of these large cents as $20-50 coins yet if you can find one in any condition selling for under 100 buck you doing awesome. In the end it comes down to how much you want a specific coin and it's availibility. Price guides are just that "guides" and a coin is only worth what some collector is willing to pay.. The TPGs and Grey sheets are not omnipotenet (sp) they are just best guesses about a commodity that can change value at the drop of a hat. As for the sellers... they out to make a profit for themselves, if they know someone will pay 2-3x list for a coin, why in hell should they sell it for less???
