<p>[QUOTE="Numan, post: 1046013, member: 13259"]One of the reasons I like to use Heritage when I am researching prices is that I can look at a coin in which I am interested, and there on the same page are the price guide prices, and also the last realized auction prices of a similar coin together with dates sold. I usually see a grouping of prices, with one or two anomalies (like 4 sold at around $700, and one sold at $1200). Since all of the realized auctions are hyperlinks, I usually click on the anomaly and look at the pics and the description -- it will usually be one that was featured in the catalogue and had some particular feature that made the price higher than the others). The grouping generally gives you a quick idea of the general going price on the auctions, and the dates of the auctions help with the time spread. I like the fact that you can see the actual prices paid for other similar coins and see their pictures (and any Heritage write up from the catalogue) to make your own assessment on the coin you are interested in. It's not the only thing, but it is very fast to do. You can do this for any coin in any current auction, or use their auction archives to do see the same results by searching for the coin of interest. Also, if you are looking at a coin on the Bay, then go to Heritage, look it up, see other representative samples that actually sold and the typical price they sold for, then determine your bid price for the Bay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
