<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2096948, member: 31533"]The PCGS price guide is supposedly for PCGS slabbed coins. "The PCGS Price Guide prices apply <b>only</b> to PCGS-graded coins." and "The prices listed in the PCGS Price Guide are <b>average dealer asking prices</b> for PCGS-graded coins." (from their website)... so, in fact they do not at all represent what a raw coin will go for, and they encompass all coins of a grade... so if there are a large number of coins of one grade (PCGS graded) trading by a dealer's asking price but 99% of those are dogs or just making the grade and one is a solid grade, then it will be lower than one you might be considering buying that is solid to higher priced. And vice versa..... try selling a just barely making the grade or one that people can see is overgraded in the slab chances are they won't bring what the price guide says.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though you should buy the coin and not the slab, this price guide is postulated that the coin is slabbed by PCGS and is average for the grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
