<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 79626, member: 112&quot;]The Red Book is an excellent resource for information on a given US coin such as mintage, composition, size and a bit of history. But when it comes to values - forget about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is true of any price guide really with the possible exception of the Grey Sheet also known as the Coin Dealer&#039;s Newsletter. The Grey Sheet is updated weekly and many dealers follow the values listed there as their bible. Many collectors do as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>But don&#039;t establish values based on a dealers asking price as this can also vary greatly. I have seen dealer&#039;s asking prices vary as much as 100% or more. In others words dealer A offers a given coin in a given grade for $100 - dealer B offers the very same coin in the very same grade for $200. </p><p><br /></p><p>My personal preference for establishing the value of a coin to is to go by realized auction prices from eBay, Heritage, TeleTrade and various other auction houses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
