<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 858662, member: 19423&quot;]Congrats on getting your first gem MS65 PCGS coin!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just wanted to say that generally you shouldn&#039;t rely on any single source of pricing when trying to determine the value of a coin. You should consult many sources to see what the real value may be. For example, the RedBook may say $70 for this coin, but the Jan 2010 Greysheet lists the coin with a bid of $37 and an ask price of $41. Not sure which guide is more accurate for Franklins as I haven&#039;t been buying any lately. Just wanted to point out not to rely on a single price guide because if you&#039;re relying on the wrong one you may find yourself overpaying. Alternatively, you may find yourself holding back from bidding on great coins because you&#039;re using a guide that has the prices too low. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even then, once you really know the pricing of the coins you&#039;re looking to buy, there is more to the equation.&nbsp; For a coin with ton of eye appeal, you may have to and you should be willing to pay stronger than the price of an average coin.&nbsp; Similarly, coins that are unattractive will typically sell for lower than average prices and that doesn&#039;t mean they are great deals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best of luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
