<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1045053, member: 13650"]I have struggled with the same thing. Basically, I think some prices fluctuate enough to where you just go with a figure and call it good. Often times, I'll just put the value at what I paid. If I know I over paid a little to get something, I will list a slightly lower value for the time being. If I feel I under paid, I will list a higher value or just go with Numismedia list. For example, the PF69 06 ASE we're talking about sells on both sides of $200 regularly. I just leave it priced at $200 and call it good. Close enough.</p><p><br /></p><p> Others have to be adjusted for the simple fact of melt value changing. Last year, I bought a 2006 $5 SF commemorative NGC MS70 for $300 at a show. Well, now the melt is more than that and it's very low mintage at around 17k. I could sell it for $400 but I'm not going to. So, the value has changed to $400 on the spreadsheet. I'm not going to lose sleep over whether or not it should be $380 or $420. Just try to be as honest as you can and leave it at that. Inflation will leave all your figures behind in due time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
