<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1907104, member: 15929&quot;]Without reading your entire reply, I see the term &quot;Price Guides&quot; and I don&#039;t really wan to read any further because, price guides are often after the fact and out of date or worse yet, only display the highest price the coin(s) sold for.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example: The PCGS Price guide lists a 2008-D Position A John Quincy Adams First Day of Issue in MS67 at $550. They may have sold 1 at that price in 2008 but I cannot even get an offer on eBay at $195.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Price Guide is woefully out of date. At least for that coin but, how are folks to understand the difference between &quot;price guide&quot; values and &quot;real world&quot; values since it&#039;s the real world values that get taken to the bank?</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I did read the etire reply and the only way the I could make money off the 3 you mentioned would be if I&#039;d purchased them from the Mint which I did not.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Jackie Robinson because I just don&#039;t buy gold. The 95-W for the same reason and the 96 Olympics weren&#039;t purchased simply because it seemed like the Mint was saturating the market with all the &quot;Olympic Coins&quot;. Los Angeles, Lake Placid, Atlanta.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heck, I didn&#039;t even bother with the 2001 Silver Buffalo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
