<p>[QUOTE="skane, post: 31605, member: 1927"]I guess that begs the question that will again have some potentially good dialogue....Where do you get your information on designations/values of a coin. I guess the Red Book is the consensus among dealers about values so that when you walk in from the street and try to sell them something, they use this as their pricing guide, but I assume that there are those the do use PCGS or Coin Values prices, but it would be interesting to know why some use one vs. the other. The only reason I use PCGS is because I don't own a Red Book, it's easy to look up quickly on line as I'm not a serious collector as I just started looking at the stuff I've accumulated as gifts from my coin dealer uncle and stuff I've saved in a can over the years that I've found in circulation and just wondering what I have. My goal is not to buy any coins for a collection but to determine what I have and what potential value there is for the stuff that I do have....Interesting to here what everyone else uses and why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
