<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2806083, member: 19463&quot;]I very strongly agree with Ides on the value of the resource provided free by CNG and am thankful for them and the other dealers that have made the free Internet a good place for ancient coins.&nbsp; However I do warn that learning to read such things as CNG as a price guide is no easy thing.&nbsp; The first thing you should learn is there is no rational pattern to these prices.&nbsp; You will find the same coin selling for half and double and several examples of a better looking coin selling for less than an inferior one.&nbsp; In some cases there may be a minor point only seen by a few that explains discrepancies but often it is just a matter of two big dogs going for the same bone one day and neither caring the next.&nbsp; To me, the main value of these listings is in the textual details and great photos with much less weight on the prices unless you look at the overall big picture and apply some common sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
