<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8078191, member: 116145&quot;]The assertion that &quot;all the price guides are terrible and out of date before they are printed. and so are auctions and ebay listings skewed by the bidding action&quot; seems to me to miss the point that those are precisely where current price points are determined.&nbsp; Most coin buyers aren&#039;t even in the market for four and five figure coins (I apologize, I can&#039;t count higher than that) - coin collecting isn&#039;t that exclusive a club... yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Thankfully, folks like me and my son can still get in with going through our pocket change and then, after getting hooked, spending $50 here or there, and on rare occasion a bit more than that.&nbsp; As with everything, the market determines the prices, and the market relates to what most people are buying and selling - we&#039;re not talking rare early gold issues here.&nbsp; I check &quot;Sold&quot; auctions on eBay to determine my low ball bids, for the most part.&nbsp; The $20 or less early large cent collection is one of my favorite ongoing threads on this site - and your favorite for under $50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
