<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 111756, member: 4552&quot;]Realistically the PCGS price guide should not be taken with a grain of salt. It is as stated a GUIDE. So are most price listings of coins. The so called grey sheet also is a GUIDE. Likewise with the Red Book, Coin magazines and newsletters on coins. They are what they say they are, GUIDES. Coins are not like items in a store where there is a absolute price you will pay at the check out counter. A coin&#039;s price is whatever someone will pay for the thing. Example a freind of mine some time ago bought a $5 gold coin on ebay for $5. That may sound nuts, but things do happen. I go to coin shows around here about 2 times a month. When I ask the actual price of a coin that has a price listed on it and the dealer starts to pull out his grey sheet I say if that&#039;s what your going to go by, so long and have a nice day, as I walk away. That&#039;s because I&#039;m about to get a song and dance that the grey sheet listed it as much higher and I&#039;m actually about to get a great deal. I&#039;ve heard that one to many times.</p><p>My advise is be real, real carefull of ebay though. Get to know your coins well before taking to many chances on ebay. It can be great or you can get taken.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
