<p>[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 1355412, member: 28199"]I'm going to say no, there is no definitive or more accurate price guide. Depending on what you're looking for, there are two different catagories for price to be considered. One is the prescious metal content of the coin. This price fluctuates with the spot price of the metal in question. Then there is the numismatic value, which is not necessarily a tangible number. Like it was stated in earlier posts, these price lists are a combination of factors processed into someone's opinion on what the value of the coin should be. But, if I want a particular coin more than you at auction, then I'm going to bid more to acquire that coin, within reason and my budget. If a coin is for sale, and I want it more than you, I may be willing to pay closer to the asking price than you, irregardless of what some sheet says it's worth. I can use the various sources of information available to me and come to price I'm willing to pay for that particular coin. But it ultimately comes down to how badly I want it. That's why I recommend using several sources, making the judgement yourself, based on the average pricing, what you can afford, and how much you want a prticular coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
