<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JAncient77, post: 2805770, member: 88949&quot;]Hello, I&#039;m very very new to ancients.&nbsp; One thing that I&#039;m really confused about is figuring values of coins.&nbsp; I inhereted some coins that really sparked my interest and rather than selling I would like to expand on my newly acquired collection.&nbsp; I love coins that are not slabbed but I do now have some expensive slabbed MS, CH MS and even a couple GEM Mint State slabbed ancient coins.&nbsp; I have no idea how to value these especially the GEM Mint State ones.&nbsp; Is there a way to go about identifying value?&nbsp; Is there a ballpark of what percentage a gem mint state ancient should sell for compared to say an auctioned near ef coin being sold on CNG?&nbsp; Just looking for a general metric for identifying coin values (current ones and possible new acquisitions).&nbsp; I&#039;m finding myself overwhelmed at how to research values.&nbsp; In addition if I purchase through CNG, ATLAS, VCOINS, are these three dealers I can somewhat count on not getting ripped off?&nbsp; I realize prices fluctuate and can be subjective but if I purchase a fixed priced item can I count on it being priced within a 25% fair market value?&nbsp;&nbsp; The history and artistic value are fascinating to me and I&#039;m looking forward to diving into this new world![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
