<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1618545, member: 15929&quot;]Price Gude values are just what the title states: A Guide</p><p><br /></p><p>The relationship of what sells at &quot;price guide value&quot; and what does not is related to:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The popularity of the coin</p><p>2. The number of bidders participating in the auction</p><p>3. The sincerity of those bidders</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen &quot;proce guide&quot; coins with a value of $250 sell for $12. Why? Simple. The market wave governing the coin had come and gone and everybody that wanted one, had one. The speculation bubble had been broken AND since there were no more sales of the piece, the price guides could not be updated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the question is: <b>Should the $12 sale of a $250 coin &quot;really&quot; be allowed to affect the price guides?</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b>If you answer Yes, then I know of a fella that purchased a 1941 Proof Set for $59 on eBay and that sale should be factored into the overall value of a 1941 Proof Set. Granted, the seller labeled it as a &quot;Mint Set&quot; but the photo&#039;s clearly show a &quot;Proof Set&quot;. Nobody was really looking.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1941-U-S-Mint-Set-Walking-Liberty-Very-Good-Condition-/200720687123?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&amp;nma=true&amp;si=ARoeCthNR52%252FzPWYtdfg%252BrObcL8%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1941-U-S-Mint-Set-Walking-Liberty-Very-Good-Condition-/200720687123?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&amp;nma=true&amp;si=ARoeCthNR52%252FzPWYtdfg%252BrObcL8%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1941-U-S-Mint-Set-Walking-Liberty-Very-Good-Condition-/200720687123?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&amp;nma=true&amp;si=ARoeCthNR52%252FzPWYtdfg%252BrObcL8%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
