[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1044914, member: 112"]The NGC and PCGS price guides are completely worthless and should never be used when trying to establish the value of any coin. As for realized prices on ebay, for the most part you can't trust them either. The reason you can't trust them is because there are so many people on ebay buying things that have no idea of their true value so they tend to pay too much a lot of the time. Value for any coin is established by educated buyers and only by educated buyers. So if you want to look up what the current retail price is for any coin then you have two options and only two options. You can buy the current Grey Sheet and add approx 10% to the Ask.
