<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1223284, member: 19463&quot;]The one thing that I am least &#039;in touch with&#039; is the coin market.&nbsp; I make no sense out of the prices asked and received.&nbsp; I go to a show and see two dealers with substantially equal coins with one priced ten times the other.&nbsp; I see people selling severely damaged coins completely ignoring the problem while I see others downpricing for a coin having a normal degree of edge cracks.&nbsp; In the hobby we have to look at a coin and decide what we will pay.&nbsp; Condition seems to make a major difference in price but who has a coin and the venue selling it makes a greater difference.&nbsp; I hate the price question since someone will have no trouble finding an example at half or double any guess I&#039;d make.</p><p><br /></p><p>A quiz:&nbsp; The three coins below sold within two years (a decade ago) for $35, $45 and $195 (I&#039;m not telling which is which).&nbsp;&nbsp; How would you grade them?&nbsp; If they were to appear on the market today what would be the &#039;fair market&#039; price?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
