[QUOTE="900fine, post: 544584, member: 6036"]First things first... shalom to you, and welcome to Coin Talk ! Lots of good folks around here. Second things second ... there is no single price guide which is a good fit for all coins. There is no "one size fits all" price guide; no "one stop shopping". The best place to place to determine the retail price of a coin depends on the coin. For the kind of coins you're talking about, I would try these places : [LIST] [*]E-Bay "completed listings" (price history) [*]friends in the hobby [*]Local coin shop [*]a coin show [/LIST]I think the price you paid is fairly reasonable. The key is the eye appeal of the coins you received. Do you like 'em ? If so, you're in fine shape. I rarely consult the PCGS price guide, and never for the coins you're talking about. I mean, heck... you're talking about the difference between $1 and $1.50. PCGS rounds off ! You can't see the difference, even if their prices meant something in this range, which they don't.[/QUOTE]
