<p>[QUOTE="playin4funami, post: 1000819, member: 21976"]I would say when buying it depends on how much you want the coin,and when selling it would depend on how bad you wanted to get rid of that coin, guides are just that,guides! your 2008 redbook will still put you in the ballpark and the rest is up to you, raw coins will need appraised by you as to their grade,and if they have been cleaned, and that they are not fakes. the redbook will tell you what coins are rare and what coins are easy to find, I use their prices as a very loose starting point, knowing if you are getting a good deal is still up to you and your knowledge on the actual coin in question at that moment, now if you are talking modern current coins I have no clue as I don't deal with them, seen to many "hot"modern coins go for big bucks and loose almost all their value in just a year or two. Also spend some time on ebay looking at what coins are going for how much,watching real sales will tell you more about the current value than any book. compare the ebay prices with your redbook, watch the actual auctions not the crazy buy it now prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
