Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2298155, member: 31533"]I can. It will still give you, for many coins and sets a good indication of what you will generally be offered for coins should you choose to sell to dealers. Obviously this is not a complete 'truth', as some coins will be given higher or lower offers to buy. But based on uncleaned and non-detailed coins of average grade, I have found from one large consignment that the dealers I spoke to who were willing to purchase the coins were in fact offering amounts clearly within the specs of the blue book prices, as I priced them all to blue book to let the coin's owner know what he would probably get for them before I was authorized to sell them. There were a couple that I was offered more on and took that, and some that I was offered around blue book and realized I could gain more, so held out for other offers or sold them on ebay, but by and by, almost every coin I had was offered a price at or near blue book values I had determined ahead of time. So it is a good tool to measure whether you want to attempt to sell to dealers or to offer in other fashion based on the coin itself.[/QUOTE]
