Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2168551, member: 112"]You mean kind of like this ? [ATTACH=full]418372[/ATTACH] What you see there in the Price Guide section is just a sampling of the many price guides that are available. But if you'll look at the actual realized auction prices at the top of that screen shot, and compare those numbers to the various price guide numbers seen below them, you'll see that price guides are almost always too high. With one exception, the Heritage Value Index. The Heritage Value Index is just a fancy name for the price range that a given coin actually sells for. You see no coin has a set, given value. That is because no 2 coins, even of the same grade are equal, every coin is unique. Every coin has its own unique attributes or lack of attributes. So not only is it common for one coin of a given grade to be nicer than another of the same grade, it is expected for it to be so. You say you want to become the Warren Buffet of coins - well, good luck with that. I say that because there are already a whole lot of people who have access to all of this information, and a whole lot more. But more importantly they also have a good deal of experience with using it, often decades of experience with using it, to their advantage. But if you use it, at least that is a step in the right direction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
