[QUOTE="Ed Sims, post: 1858405, member: 59688"]There used to be. Long before the internet and eBay prices for coins were usually pretty close to the published price guides in the local coin shops and mail order dealers. Exceptional coins though have always brought premiums over so-called retail prices. Now there is what is called fair market value, the supposed value of what you can expect to get for a coin if sold retail. Retail being defined as the sale of a coin going into a collectors' collection. eBay and retail should never be used in the same sentence since eBay is an auction and fixed price hosting site, eBay itself does not sell anything.[/QUOTE]
