And what you will find is how greatly that value can vary. Now granted, it is US coins being discussed in that thread. But the same thing is true when it comes to world coinage. </p><p><br /></p><p>And oddly enough, even though that thread uses coins of significant value as examples, when it comes to the values of common, everyday, world coinage in a given grade the differences in those values are quite often even more exaggerated.For example, a given coin in XF may one day sell for $12 and the very next day that exact coin in XF may sell for $60. So which of those values would you use for your coin ? Do you see what I mean ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier in this thread moneyer said - &quot; <i>a coins value is best determined by the market prices being paid. by market prices i mean dealers as opposed to ebay and other auction sites...........&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>And when it comes to common, everyday world coinage he is exactly correct. For if you go to try and sell your common world coinage when you need the money, a dealer is going to be the person buying it. You aren&#039;t going to have time to try and sell off collection of common world coinage to private individuals on ebay when you need the money, you are going to have to sell your coins and sell them now. And a dealer is going to be your only recourse. Thus what the dealer will pay you is what establishes the true value of your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
