<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 17350210, member: 102103&quot;]I find for a lot of moderately obscure world coins, Numista will have no pricing data at all.&nbsp; Numista data are user reported, and can be several years old.&nbsp; So even when there is data it may not be reflective of current prices.&nbsp; Or I&#039;ll see a coin listed as a lower price in a better grade than in a lower grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>I often find that even an obsolete Krause guide is more useful for getting relative ideas of pricing, which dates and mints are rarer, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an example at random for a recent coin purchase:&nbsp; </p><p>Baden <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4703.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4703.html" rel="nofollow">6 Kreuzer 1847</a></p><p>Of the whole series, Numista only has user entries for one date (1847) and 2 grades (F and VF), which are listed at the same price.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1535612[/ATTACH]</p><p>Even my very obsolete Krause guide has a lot more information. The prices follow a generic progression with grade, and are probably filled in from some sort of formula rather than based on actual sales.&nbsp; But there&#039;s still a lot more info than I can get from Numista.[ATTACH=full]1535613[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
