<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 767440, member: 112&quot;]Sholom - </p><p><br /></p><p>You are comparing apples and oranges and then wondering why they are different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Numismedia is a price guide, they are not a coin dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>The others you mention <u>are</u> coin dealers, they are not price guides. And, they are known for selling inferior, over-graded, over-priced and often problem coins as being problem free. So, one - you should never buy from those people. Two - you should never use their asking prices as any kind of realistic indicator of what a coin is actually worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>In regard to the retail prices - meaning the prices of the inventory of coin dealers; it is exceedingly common for dealer A offer a given coin in a given grade for say $50. And for dealer B to offer the very same given coin in a given grade for $100. This happens every single minute of every single day. There is no rhyme or reason to it, it is just what the two different dealers are willing to sell the same coin for. So never, ever, use a dealer&#039;s asking price as a guide to the value of any coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you are going to use any price guide there is only 1 that is worth the paper it is printed on and that is the Grey Sheet. And yes, that includes Numismedia. All price guides, except the Grey Sheet, should be completely and totally ignored - they are worthless.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you really want to know accurate prices then don&#039;t even use the Grey Sheet. Use realized auction prices. Then you will have accurate info.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now hopefully that answers your question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
