<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1078553, member: 23626"]As a roll searcher who is trying to widen his collection of "varieties", the sales data seems about right. The OP showed Numismat vales of the 1909s higher than the grey sheet values with eBay sales being between. Items I have sold on eBay did not get me full retail, but got me much more than the wholesale a dealer would pay. I never sell to a dealer now. And although I never make big ticket purchases sight unseen, the lower value items I have got on eBay have saved me money from what I would expect to pay at a shop or coin show.</p><p> </p><p>I don't think this erodes the value of items, because of the nature of numismatic sales.
