<p>[QUOTE="alwayslost, post: 269083, member: 7155"]Being a collector myself, the PCGS price guide may be close to the real price of a coin if it is a highly desired coin like a 1914-D cent, ect. If it is a highly sought after coin then the PCGS guide may be low. For more common dates/mint marks it is app. 30% higher than the auction market, IMHO. In the recent past I have noticed that NGC is commanding simular and sometimes higher prices than PCGS for the coins I collect that are mainly the San Francisco mint. I am a firm believer about only buying NGC or PCGS but do not fall in the "PCGS is the best" rut. Look at the coin because many times I have seen NGC coins graded at the same level as PCGS but the NGC is the better looking coin, and of course visa versa. The type of coin I desire is full mint luster with minimum or no bag marks or colorul but not artificial toning that circles either side of the face of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
