<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1186704, member: 13307"]Just for fun - I checked each coin. Coin Prices has the total BV of all these coins I've decided to sell at $611.50. Numismedia has them for $558 - about $50 difference. Of course, one could look at it like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>*Some people would prefer, when buying, to look at the lowest available value guide (to get the best price.) Conversely, some people might prefer, when selling, to look at the highest available value guide (to again, get the best price.) I honestly just use the magazine because I can carry it with me (and my "smart" phone is about the dumbest piece of technology I've used in the last 5 years. Avoid the Samsung Moment.) I just noticed that Numismedia does an app...so I'm going to check it out and see if it requires WiFi to work (PCGS Photograde doesn't. If it works...maybe I'll dump the CoinPrices!)</p><p><br /></p><p>*I'm selling the coins listed for $475 (or trade for silver Bullion Value for Book Value) which is well below what Numismedia says I should expect to receive. We can politely discuss which price guide is better - but my asking price is well below what I "should" receive. I'd probably even take a lower offer - because I got them for a sweet price. The price guide issue is a bit moot, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>*I'd just like to add, in case anyone was feeling like I was getting in the least bit snippy, that I LOVE this forum and I appreciate all the help everyone has given me over the years. Never once have I gotten angry with someone or become righteously indignant. I am in this for the enjoyment of the hobby and I love learning new ways of looking at things (and I love learning how to do things better, like grading and photographing.) Once again, a big THANK YOU to everyone here. I can only hope to help someone like I have been helped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
