<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25288909, member: 153164&quot;]I&#039;ve been wondering something recently. It is about the Greysheet being regarded as the most accurate coin guide, but what about the CPG book?</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, I&#039;m wondering if the CPG has many of the ol&#039; Sheet prices. I&#039;m also wondering if I should buy that book and, when buying coins, trim the price back a certain percentage of the CPG prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>For other price guides, like PCGS, NGC, and the Red Book, there could definitely be something going on here. Many people value their coins to sell on the online worldwide flea market (yes, that one) by price guide values from those, but I&#039;ve got a weird story to tell about &quot;inflated&quot; prices. No one price guide seems to hit the nail on the head in what&#039;s below.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an honest coin dealer, I try to price coins cheap while still making a profit. I mean, I won&#039;t take an 1881-S Morgan dollar that I know is SPL, and it&#039;s PCGS MS63, and label it as PL to sell it for more. Naturally it would bring in more due to its great strike and semi-prooflike quality, but not PL money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually found that the CPG says a 1969-S nickel graded MS66 is worth about $85. PCGS says $52 and NGC says $180. Common selling prices, though, are between $30 and $150. I got mine for $24.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s draw a conclusion, folks. How can we properly price coins if we won&#039;t pay $27.99 a month for physical copies of the Greysheet, or $40 for a single issue, but we will pay $15 for a CPG? What are your opinions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
