[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1045009, member: 112"]First of all, NGC does not have their own price guide. What you find if you go look is this - [I]NumisMedia is the industry's most accurate, INDEPENDENT and impartial report of US coin values, and is the official price guide of NGC.[/I] That said, let's check some actual examples. An 1881-CC in MS65 - [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=210114&Lot_No=26155[/url] What you will see is the that for 5 sales that occured all within the past 30 days are $718, $747, $747, $776 & $776. The Numismedia retail price is $1090, the wholesale prices is $870, the price for NGC is $830 and $840 for PCGS. An 1884-S in AU58 - [url]http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1145&Lot_No=4239[/url] Auctions dating Sept - Oct 2010 show realized prices of $862, $862, $833, $1151 & $1840. The Numismedia retail price is $1290, the wholesale price $1075, and it shows $965 for NGC and $1000 for PCGS. Now I can do the same thing with virtually any coin sold on Heriatge. And you can plainly see that the Numismedia prices (the NGC price guide in other words) is off by 50% if you use the retail numbers and even off by 20% if use the TPG numbers. Not what I would call a very good guide.[/QUOTE]
