[QUOTE="KenKat, post: 1044969, member: 28029"]I think the PCGS and NGC price guides are an ok source of prices if you remember two basic things. 1) These are prices for CERTIFIED coins and should not be used for raw coins unless you discount significantly. 2) They represent the absolute high end for the nicest coin in that grade - PQ examples. These guides are useful as a starting point. I also honestly don't agree with the position that there are lots of people paying too much on eBay. Some things go for too high and some things go for a bargain. In average, it represents an efficient marketplace with efficient pricing in my opinion. Heritage is another good source for higher end material. Again, almost always certified coins, so you've got to take that into account. In summary, I think the best way to figure out pricing is to look at all sources and make your own determination as to what an appropriate price is. Best regards, Ken[/QUOTE]
