<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 1938858, member: 71338&quot;]I&#039;m talking here about coins with details grading in NGC holders, Genuine attribution coins in PCGS holders, ANACs and ICG problem coins, and even raw coins with minor-major problems. I&#039;m mostly talking as well about Ebay, because that&#039;s where I&#039;ve encountered this. For instance, I&#039;ll be searching for a Barber quarter with luster present and nice eye appeal, and these are priced above 150 for the most part. You&#039;d think an EF or AU with an improperly cleaned or scratch attribution would sell for half it&#039;s graded retail price but dealers seem to price them 10-20% below. This seems ridiculous to me. Even the darkly toned, quite ugly problem coins and barely marked down. With the raw coins, the mark downs are similar or even more irritating. For instance, I&#039;ve seen harshly cleaned and even whizzed coins with rim damage selling for 10% below the book value of a problem-free coin of the same grade (ie ef, AU, etc.). Sometimes you can talk a dealer down, but I&#039;ve experienced only small markdowns. Is this crazy or what? What do you consider are fair values for problem coins, graded and ungraded?
