<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 3982140, member: 74624&quot;]I don&#039;t uses printed price guides but do look at auction results (usually Great Collections, Heritage, PGCS, ...) for certified coins.&nbsp; Since there&#039;s usually a big range of sale prices within a given grade I look at many of them relative to the others and try to make sense for why one sold lower and one higher.&nbsp; Usually, exceptional strike and eye appeal brings the highest price and I make a decision to buy the coin I&#039;m interested at a price comparable to the features of a similar one sold at auction.&nbsp; I may decide to pass on a coin if I see that there are better examples out there that I&#039;d rather wait on down the road.</p><p><br /></p><p>For raw coins I try to determine what I think the grade is and then look at slabbed auction prices for similar coins graded several points lower.&nbsp; Usually, if a raw coin looks MS I won&#039;t bid higher than an AU 58 price unless it is an absolute gem.&nbsp; As many of us know, buying raw coins online can be risky; pictures can be deceiving.&nbsp; I usually do most of my business with trusted sellers; ones I&#039;ve done business with before and was satisfied.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
