<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 7396018, member: 13650"]For fun, I'm perusing the auctions tonight just looking at flying eagle cents in low MS range, 3 cents and some seated stuff. Three of the last coins I was checking out I looked up on NGCs price guide and they're all listed at $100 to $150 above the price guide. If you're looking at nicer stuff, this is very much the norm and more often than not. Rarely ever see make an offer as an option. Half dime I wanted was $55 over.</p><p> They're pricing in fees and whatever other costs. Most of the time I know if I was at a show with that coin in front of me it could probably be had for not tens, but hundreds less and I've done it. Ebay is an expensive place to chase graded stuff. May be the only place you can find what you're looking for though. I doubt I could find a type II 3 cent silver in a hundred mile radius around me in any grade.</p><p><br /></p><p> I never realized the commemoratives were that hot in the past. They are cool and the early ones don't have very high mintages. I do collect commems I like but I don't attempt to chase them all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
