<p>[QUOTE="DANIEL HENRIQUEZ, post: 3987459, member: 76821"]Although price guides are a quick research tool, valuing coins is not their best feature. All of these price guides gather information from sales online, specifically Amazon and Ebay which many buyers are NOT paying retail or real market value for these coins. Here is a quick note to ponder, if you are researching graded coins and the population of your grade is below 500 according to NGC & PCGS, triple the value they show as they are not accurate. I have a few dimes with mintages of 2,800,000 and population of 70 is 189 but, because some people purchased the same coin recently for far less, NGC values it at what the latest sales are which is incorrect and wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, use these guides cautiously and rely on populations more. These are true and real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
