[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3967064, member: 112"]Which all by itself should tell you not to use any of them ! To be honest, I'd say those are probably 3 of the worst ones to use. Of course your next question is gonna be - well, what price guide should I use then ? Answer - none of them. I'm sorry but price guides are simply not worth the paper they are printed on - not a single one of them is ! You're better off doing your homework [B]before you go out looking[/B], taking your own notes, and using them ! And if the situation comes up that you run across a coin or coins by chance when you least expected it - then you go with what you've learned from doing your homework previously. If you're gonna buy coins - you gotta do your own homework - or else ya don't buy coins. Period end of story. edit - lemme put this a little bit different way. You're better off to just guess at value, than you are to use something that you absolutely know is bad. And all price guides are bad.
