<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 893356, member: 15309&quot;]No there is not a rule of thumb, and I for one like it that way.&nbsp; I will say that the wholesale value is often inversely proportional to the premium.&nbsp; Coins with lower prices will usually fetch much higher multiples of that price as a premium.&nbsp; For example, here is a Kennedy Half dollar that has a Numismedia Wholesale Value of $8.&nbsp; I paid 33X wholesale for the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Kennedy%20Half%20Dollars/KennedyHalfDollar1964PCGSMS64H.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Contrast that with this 1880-S MS65 Morgan with a Wholesale value of $235 for which I paid $400 (less than 2X wholesale).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MorganDollar1880-SNGCMS66Star312029.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Granted the toning on the Kennedy is a little more rare, but if the Kennedy were graded MS67 with a wholesale value of $750 I would expect it to sell for between $1,000-$1,500 depending on the collector interest and sales venue.&nbsp; No way the coin would sell for 33X wholesale though ($25K).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
