Example - 1882 MS-63 graded coins run typically around $80 if brown(from heritage) - not sure if red book deals with color of the coin, but the prices are still inaccurate.&nbsp; Use auctions or grey sheet or at least something more accurate than the red book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now lets see what you know - here is a <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28062&amp;Lot_No=22086" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28062&amp;Lot_No=22086" rel="nofollow">heritage auction</a> of an 1882 I won at about $100 plus shipping and handling.&nbsp; Was this a good buy or not? Look closely and think carefully and research this date with this coin in mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>So obviously you are right - I must not know what I am doing. I really recommend before accusing others of not knowing what they are doing is to sit down and do some research yourself.&nbsp; Then post your opinion to the original poster leaving out any extra-curricular comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
