The sender of the coin actually values the coin. PCGS grades the coin and have a graded coin with that given value. But the sender mostly has over valued the coin in that ... if the shipment gets lost...that is the value for insurance. Also, most of the time coins will grade at or below what the sender was dreaming the coin would grade at....ie another reason the values are inflated.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be nice if PCGS would confirm this theory I have heard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clearly PCGS values in the area of my collection are over actual market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Retail stores I know sell at red book ...which is lower than PCGS value.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
