<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimij, post: 130499, member: 5475&quot;]OK. I live far away from any major city and have no local dealers or coin shows to go to. My goal is to find a good place to buy coins without getting ripped off. I&#039;ve noticed that PCGS and most other auctions houses overinflate their price guides compared to the redbook. The problem is these prices are what these coins are usually going for at auctions houses. So either I risk getting ripped off or risk losing the coin because I&#039;m not willing to pay the premium to win the auction. </p><p><br /></p><p>So far I&#039;ve been using Teletrade and Heritage. I watch items on Ebay a lot , but there are so many crooked sellers I try to stay away from buying too much there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any pointers on how you base the worth of a coin and the mindset you approach an auction with. I&#039;m mostly interested in the higher grades between MS62-69. At those grades its extremely hard to gauge the value and a mistake can be costly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also if anyone is willing to give me an idea of where most of their coins are purchased and who they feel they get the best values from...Or fair values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
