[QUOTE="cdcda, post: 7706, member: 941"]Due to the numerous variables involved in retail coin pricing - geographic location, sales method (catalog, Internet, show, etc.), grading, and more - it is difficult to find any one price guide that could be considered overwhelmingly accurate. Think about the dealer greysheet, which every dealer carries with him or her to every show. What would happen if it was truly considered accurate and coins were purchased based on the wholesale prices listed therein? If you concede that a retail price GUIDE is a necessity, and that it can only be considered a guide, then the PCGS guide is not that bad. Just like Coin World Trends is not that bad, and others are not that bad. I recommend them only because, at least, they sometimes reflect real world trends in the industry unlike the Red Book - which lists "retail" prices which are 1 1/2 years old by the time most people buy the book. What do you believe is the best source for retail prices?[/QUOTE]
