<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 112021, member: 4552"]Just remember that ALL guidlines are guidlines. Sort of like manufacturers list price on a car. Just a guess. Not like a store where the price is set and that's what you pay. Coins, stamps, beanie babies, etc are worth what someome will pay for them. If you wanted to you too could make a coin price guidline. Who's to say yours is the one or not. </p><p> I go to about 2 coins shows a month and some of the dealers have printed out the PCGS price guidline to show customers what a great deal they are getting with them. Many use the grey sheet, but off to the side as if it was the only copy in existance or some secret document. Others just don't care about guidlines and want the price they have marked or just move on to another table. Myself, I just check out several back issues of the Red Book to see how the historic values of a coin has progressed. For example the 1943 Lincoln Cent just hasn't moved much in quite a while now. However, that stupid 55DD Lincoln has doubled in value in the last year or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
