<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LETSBUYCOINS, post: 184486, member: 2657&quot;]$385 is a decent price for a PCGS slabbed 1894 $10 gold price, right?&nbsp;&nbsp; The PCGS price guide for me is the most convenient price guide to use.&nbsp;&nbsp; Collectors want&nbsp; to see the prices go up.&nbsp;&nbsp; but when prices go down, collectors see cheaper prices and think they can buy more stuff for their collections.&nbsp; &nbsp; bottomline, in the long run, consumer inflation will increase prices on collectibles anyways.&nbsp; I also collect pocket watches.&nbsp;&nbsp; The main price guide is the book by author cooksey shugart.&nbsp; But where does he get his prices?&nbsp; The guy is an old man now on social security.&nbsp;&nbsp; The prices in his book are up, just when he and his co-author are selling off their collections.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I trust PCGS for coin prices more that I trust Cooksey Shugart for watch prices.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; MS61 is a safe grade anyways.&nbsp;&nbsp; The higher grades have more risk of price fluctuation.&nbsp;&nbsp; you could spend a lot of money on an MS64 or MS 63 that could come back lower on a re-grade.&nbsp; &nbsp; okay Ive exhausted myself on this topic.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Do coin prices really need to be a weekly thing, like the stock market?&nbsp; Meaning, the bookstore has the usual guides that come out once a year.&nbsp; Are those good enough for the average collector and dealer?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
