<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 25289196, member: 74624&quot;]For slabbed coins I always check recent auction prices from PCGS coin facts, Great Collections, Heritage, David Lawrence, Stack Bowers, ...&nbsp; Of course, the numbers of examples depends on date/condition rarity, etc.&nbsp; Sometimes there can be quite a range of auction prices for a given coin and grade.&nbsp; I usually look at images (if available) to get a feel of why one coin was priced higher than the other.&nbsp; If it has a CAC bean then the market will add a premium to the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>For raw coins, I will never pay anything close to what a similar slabbed coin sold for; especially if using seller photos when buying online.&nbsp; It can be difficult to determine if the surfaces are original (cleaning).&nbsp; One should also question their grading skills; especially for series they are not familiar with.&nbsp; If I really want the coin, I&#039;ll set a bid several points below the grade that I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
