[QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 25288952, member: 153164"]I am talking about the Collector Price Guidance, yes. I've been told by many that the Greysheet is reliable, but a lot of others say the market decides what it's worth. That is the CPG book, as I have referenced it as. As for price guides, there are many I don't trust at all. Some include PCGS, NGC (to some extent, mainly for non-proof coins) and even the Red Book. I also know a coin dealer who sells most stuff at literally the Greysheet price, which seems quite generous, but it's very strange to think that of all the price guides in the world, not one can hit the nail on the head. How different is the pricing on the Greysheet vs the CPG? I don't have either current issue as of right now, mainly because I don't yet want to pay $40 for a single issue or $27.99 a month. I do agree with the fact that someone will usually pay more than Greysheet for a coin. Often the usual price is bid plus 10 percent, which is not bad on some coins, like most of what I buy. Here's a conclusion: would it be better to look up what similar coins have auctioned for, and go from there?[/QUOTE]
