<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 740445, member: 4552"]I too agree with the use of on line auctions for reality in prices. There are so many price guides out there and none really are worth anything except a guide to an approximate, possible, maybe, price on a coin. There is the Red Book being made a year ahead making it redicuous in prices. There is the PCGS web site bloated up to make people send in more coins. There are many, many other sites with coin prices such as the numersous on line dealers. Again, none really make a realistic price on coins since that could change almost daily pending the likes and dislikes of people for a certain coin or type. When I go to coin shows I carry with a list of coins I need, want, like, etc. I place a maximum price I'm willing to pay based on what I've seen on ebay, Heritage and several other web sites. I then attempt to haggle down those prices and if not, I just pass on that coin. </p><p>You mentioned taxes on the coins. Not sure where your at but in Illinois there is no taxes on coins that I know of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
