[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 544580, member: 17753"]From a semi-newbie: I'm trying to get a handle on prices for cheap coins. I've been thinking of expanding into Indian Head cents, as one example, picking up very inexpensive pieces as I go. (But this question is not directly related to IHC's) So, I go to pcgs.com, and -- for example -- I see the 190x ICH's are all around $3 in G4 condition. So, I figure experience is a good teacher -- and I check out ebay (which I've read here is OK for inexpensive items), and I end up getting a batch of 8 IHC's for about $12.50 (all in G4 to VG8 condition -- this includes the postage and handling). Seems like I got a bargain, right? Then I discover numismedia.com, and pretty much all their post 1890 ICH's are listed as $1 for G4 and $2 for G8. So, according to PCGS I got a real bargain . . . numismedia tells me I overpaid? Thoughts? (Note, I'm looking for free on-line price guides only -- family life prevents me from devoting very much time here) Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]
