<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3049239, member: 77639&quot;]All the prices in PCGS Auction Prices Realized are hammer plus buyer&#039;s premium regardless of auction company.&nbsp; Where you need to be careful is in using digital or paper listings of auction companies for prices realized.&nbsp; These days, most include the buyer&#039;s premium for auctions held the last 10-15 years.&nbsp; Older prices realized, such as those you might download from the Newman Portal, are often hammer prices only.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are occasional errors of commission and omission in PCGS prices realized.&nbsp; Sometimes if you click on an entry, you&#039;ll find that it&#039;s a coin that is in the wrong category (denomination or style or other).&nbsp; If a price for a particular coin appears out of place in the listings, click on it and you may find it&#039;s a mistake.&nbsp; They often leave out a CAC notation for coins so approved, so if CAC is important, you&#039;ll need to click on the individual coins to see if they had a sticker.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problems with PCGS prices realized are few though, and it&#039;s my go-to guide for prices.&nbsp; It can be very useful for bidding in future auctions and for bargaining with dealers.&nbsp; If you point-out that their initial asking price is higher than any auction price in the last few years, they may give you a better price.&nbsp; Sometimes you can spot the same coin being offered by a dealer in a recent auction listing, which gives you some idea of their cost (assuming they actually own it).</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
