[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1406005, member: 34700"]What a coin is "worth" and what it actually sells for can be two completely different things. Ideally, an informed seller and an informed buyer should arrive at an equitable price. However that isn't the case in many instances. Take the coin hucksters on cable TV (please!) - most of the posters here are well aware that they are selling coins at exhorbitant prices, presumably to clueless dullards who never even heard of the Red Book. Yet they manage to stay in business year after year. Ditto for Littleton Coins. Likewise for the big advertisers in Coin World. Does anyone here feel that those coins are selling for their true "worth". I know I don't. On the other hand, I've cherrypicked dealers (who should presumably know better) & auctions and gotten some amazing bargains over the years. I guess that all this doesn't really answer the question of what a coin is really worth though! :p[/QUOTE]
