<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2170004, member: 112&quot;]Well in 2009 prices for modern stuff were in the middle of falling off a cliff - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/twenty10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>- so yeah, you could say they&#039;ve changed. Look where they were in Dec. of &#039;08, and where they were in Feb. of &#039;10.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to your question what&#039;s the price ? Yeah, I know of the difficulty when trying to find prices for common stuff. And by your own efforts you are of course aware of that. And as evidenced by the chart above, the time factor definitely matters, sometimes a lot. So to be any good, realized auction prices need to be fairly current. And by your own efforts you couldn&#039;t even find any on ebay, not for the coin you want. </p><p><br /></p><p>But if you use the Grey Sheet correctly, and single copy does not allow you to use it correctly, for a single copy will not have the prices for all grades, but you can find a current price. Which you could not do on ebay, or Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be able to find a current price in most grades in the Grey Sheet you need several issues, all the weekly issues for a given month and all the quarterly issues. That is because not all coins are even listed in each weekly issue, nor are all grades listed in each weekly issue. But if you have everything, it will be listed in one of them. So with these common, but thinly traded, coins that you can&#039;t find, the Grey Sheet is usually your best option. And if you did that I think that what&#039;ll you&#039;ll find is that the current price for the coin you want is somewhere around $10, give or take a few dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there is a cost to be able to do that. And when you are looking for $10 coins most people won&#039;t spend those dollars because it is more than the coin is worth. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now all of that said, if you pick a coin that is liquid, one that trades all the time, and you check the prices in the manner that I suggested, what I said above will be true. Can you find coins/examples like the dime you want where it is not true ? Sure, of course you can. But that still doesn&#039;t make the general premise of my comments inaccurate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
