<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1377804, member: 36230"]Yes, very well said and this - at least in part - is exactly the point I was attempting to make. Not that anyone here is or feels this way, but there is a significant number of collectors/buyers out there today who concern themselves more with the number listed in a guide than with the coin itself. Although it is difficult to discuss this in such a general sense (simply "coins" and not types or specific issues) there are instances where the full retail quote of any guide is low and is why I said that understanding the true market for whatever type one collects is much more important that worrying about any price guide value. Substandard coins are everywhere and more common than quality even in the rarest of series. To put it simply, one gets what they pay for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
