[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1355536, member: 26302"]Jason, US coins are basically the best tracked coin series in the world. I would agree that a greysheet subsciption is called for for a dealer. They can never be perfect, if only because: 1. Coins are imperfect, as are collectors. Matching the coin to the collector who prefers those can always lead to above greysheet pricing, as well as liquidating a coin can lead to below market pricing. On the whole, however, its probably the most up to date price list you can own. 2. All price lists, by definition, are history. They cannot by definition be today's pricing, right? So, its always possible to have deviations from them based upon moving markets, and a good dealer learns how to pick up those movements before they are listed in the greysheet. If you know these limitations, learn to grade accurately, spot problem coins, and "learn" the value of toning, you will be in a good place in my view. Chris[/QUOTE]
