<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1343831, member: 6036&quot;]This is good advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I look up coins on those sites, here&#039;s what I find...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>There is NO standardized pricing for coins.</b> Period. The end.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices vary greatly depending on quality, even for coins with the same grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, go take a look at the latest Heritage auction. Look at the three following lots : 6330 and 6331. Here are the links :</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&amp;lotNo=6330" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&amp;lotNo=6330" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&amp;lotNo=6330</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&amp;lotNo=6331" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&amp;lotNo=6331" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1166&amp;lotNo=6331</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Same date, same grade, same die marriage. The first went off for $6325, the second for $5750. That&#039;s more than 10%, even though the lower price coin was PCGS + CAC, which tends to help a coin a little bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why did the NGC coin outperform the PCGS + CAC coin ? Because it was a better coin. It was very well struck, which is unusual for this series. The Smart Money saw the superior coin and paid top dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both coins went high relative to ALL &quot;price guides&quot; and other nice coins in the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was an underbidder on 6330; I really liked it. A lot. I just wasn&#039;t willing to chase it that far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
