[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 184492, member: 705"]Is it convenient for you to knowingly use a flawed guide?....is it convenient for you to lose money? Wrong---collectors don't care about prices---INVESTERS care--- No grade is safe---a MS61 can come back a MS60 or even a AU58..... Yes--for some coins---and no for others---the market can change overnight! Nope--those books are good for looking up mintages and such and not much else----any dealer or collectors that knows how the market works and is much into coins will not use such a guide for buying or selling becuase it is easy to get ripped. The guide might say that a coin is worth $1000---while at the time being the market is down and you can get the same coin for $200---if you use that guide and such you will be over paying by $800---also most of those guides are printed 1-2 years before the printed date--so a 2008 Red Book would be printed in late 2006.
