[QUOTE="gmarguli, post: 82050, member: 246"]Just a few things: 1) The Redbook is not too low. It is just inaccurate. Many coins are priced way too high and many way too low. It's great for looking up mintages and stuff like that, but not for prices. 2) The PCGS Price misGuide is a scam. When the people selling the coins set the prices in the guide, you need to think carefully about using it. Also, if it were accurate, wouldn't PCGS use it when they have to do a buyback under their grading guarantee? Do they? :D No! :mad: Their price guide is just like their grading, inconsistent and biased. 3) For generic stuff, just check the completed auctions on eBay to get a feel for the going price. For nicer stuff, try the Heritage auction archives. 4) Buy a set of the Greysheets. While not 100% accurate, they are decent.[/QUOTE]
