<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bradgator2, post: 4123359, member: 110679&quot;]I bought everything on ebay.&nbsp; Although I have recently started poking around on GreatCollections and others.&nbsp; It required patience.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It’s hard to say what is “overpriced”.&nbsp; For my Morgans, a charted out the NGC price guide, PCGS price guide, Redbook price guide, and the numismedia website.... and averaged them.&nbsp; With those, the average was almost exactly the PCGS price guide.&nbsp; With the proofs, I went straight up researching auction prices.&nbsp; I’d start tracking the coin I wanted, but didnt like that particular coin.&nbsp; At least I had a trend to go by.&nbsp; In the end, the value is worth what someone will buy it for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all that, I find most things on Ebay are purchased for roughly 75% of the PCGS priceguide.&nbsp; All of my proofs followed that trend.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my 4 costliest coins in the proof journey:</p><p>1950 Franklin, PCGS PR64, total price $311.&nbsp; Priceguide $450.&nbsp; (69%)</p><p><br /></p><p>1951 Franklin, PCGS PR64, total price $231.&nbsp; Priceguide $325.&nbsp; (71%)</p><p><br /></p><p>1942 Mercury, PCGS PR65, total price $130.&nbsp; Priceguide $160.&nbsp; (81%)</p><p><br /></p><p>1942 Quarter.&nbsp; PCGS PR66, total price $74.&nbsp; Priceguide $120.&nbsp; (61%). I actually started another thread about this coin.&nbsp; I think the trueview pic caused the low bidding price.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only coin that I “overpaid” for was the 1952 Dime, NGC PF66.&nbsp; Got it for $28 and the price guide is $25.&nbsp; But there are so many market forces at play with a $25 coin (grading cost, shipping, ebay cost, etc) that I didn’t mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go Gators!</p><p><br /></p><p>Brad[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
