<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 51966, member: 669&quot;]It depends on a lot of factors.&nbsp; There are many coins with Krause values considerably more than their true market <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> , others are pretty much on <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> , and there are some that I would dearly love to get for double the amount listed in Krause <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Like any other price guide, the Krause catalogs are merely &quot;guides&quot;, and not &quot;bibles&quot;.&nbsp; Also bear in mind that they are referencing retail prices that a dealer might be expected to sell the coin for; not wholesale prices that the same dealer would be expected to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most accurate guide to true value - defined as what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when both are in possession of the relevant facts - is the price obtained at a recent legitimate auction, conducted by a reputable house.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the changing marketplace, the price realized at a Goldberg autction this year is undoubtedly more accurate than the price realized at a 2003 Heritage auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest problem with using EBay prices as a &quot;guide&quot; is that &quot;possesion of the relevant facts&quot; element.&nbsp; The more EBay sales there are, the more likely it is that the average price will be close to true value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
