<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WolfStock, post: 2515946, member: 81810&quot;]Wow that&#039;s remarkable.&nbsp; I looks to me like the prices in the red books are seriously high, at least for bullion-type coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you agree with that?</p><p><br /></p><p>To use the car analogy - seems like that&#039;s the &quot;list price&quot;; but anyone who actually pays that price is a fool - you should be able to get them, from a retail dealer even, for far less.&nbsp;&nbsp; And likewise if you were selling some you probably wouldn&#039;t get anything near the prices shown in the book, even if you sold them to someone who generally operated on a thin margin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taking the buffalo for example - I&#039;ve typically bought those for about $15-20 over spot.&nbsp; (I say typically but it was really just a couple times, a few years ago)&nbsp; But the book shows them $150 over spot (if spot basis really is $1200).&nbsp; &nbsp; Those pretty much have zero numismatic value though of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Side note - I usually don&#039;t care that much about bullion-type coins; right now however I&#039;m looking to sell some for a relative.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve bought a fair amount of coins before, for my own collection - both numismatic and bullion; what I haven&#039;t done is sell coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I&#039;m kind of feeling my way in the dark, and I do appreciate the help from folks!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
