<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2515174, member: 59677&quot;]For most series after about 1850 you can look at the lowest values listed, and those are the ones that are based pretty much just on the metal value.&nbsp; Coins that have a higher value have some numismatic value too. Coins that are significantly more valuable have primarily numismatic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you might see double eagles listed $1,300 1,350 1,400... that&#039;s primarily the gold value with a tiny premium. Then you&#039;ll see a Charlotte piece listed at $5,000 and that&#039;s primarily numismatic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is today common date double eagles are selling for $1,500 then you&#039;d expect the common ones to be about $200 more than in the red book.</p><p><br /></p><p>However the Red Book prices - besides being dated because of the book&#039;s publication schedule - are high retail and not really a particularly good price guide anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
