<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 50753, member: 648&quot;]Actually I&#039;ve always advised people to use the BLUE book.&nbsp; It&#039;s got wholesale prices and reflects about what you could get for the coins if you should sell them.&nbsp; The RED book has loads of good info but often the prices are unrealistic and misleading.&nbsp; With most coins you can buy them at shops, shows, auctions etc at less than red book prices.&nbsp; Remember that these books come out once per year so sometimes their pricing info can be outdated.&nbsp; Dealers use a weekly publication called The Greysheet and even though it&#039;s weekly sometimes even it&#039;s outdated too!</p><p>If you want to determine value first DON&#039;T CLEAN ANYTHING, as that will lower the value substantially.&nbsp; You&#039;ll need a grading guide.&nbsp; I use the ANA but Photograde is a good one, too.&nbsp; Some coins have wild spreads in their value depening on their grade.&nbsp; Knowing how to grade your coins will make/save you lots of money, hence the value of a good grading guide.</p><p>Post any specific questions you may have here, this is a great place to find answers.</p><p>Just my 2c,</p><p>Nick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
