[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2806030, member: 39084"]It's natural for any collector to ask how to value his/her coins. ACSEARCH will display the hammer price of coins sold at auction, but it charges around $100 per year for this service. CNG has a great RESEARCH function that includes SOLD prices, and in addition, it includes coins sold at its eAuctions, which are not as highly priced as its Coin Shop and Printed Auctions: [ATTACH=full]655510[/ATTACH] Click the RESEARCH button and then fill out the form to find coins similar to yours. Vcoins dealers will also be a good resource for retail prices on a wide range of coins. Be aware, however, that many of these prices can be successfully negotiated downward, so they may represent inflated prices for coins similar to yours. Finally, get used to grading for ancient coins (as described by Gavin Richardson above) because you'll rarely, if ever, see the grades that you cite in your original question (e.g., MS, CH, GEM). As Doug mentions, learn to use and trust your eyes, not others' opinions of grades.[/QUOTE]
