Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 322730, member: 9270"]Common sources for pricing coins: 1. Red Book - forget it; printed once a year, so there's no way the prices can be realistic.Just look at the price of precious metals over the last year; no way that could have been factored in.Use it for IDing coins and relative value. 2. Coin Values - Now you're getting closer to the truth.At least you're getting a monthly update about the retail value of coins. 3. CDN - Closer yet.Now you're at the weekly updated level for the wholesale value of coins. (NOTE: As Treashunt mentioned there's still a publication delay. And values aren't changed unless there's enough transactions to show a change. IMO that's why Coin Values and CDN are often way out of wack, even considering wholesale vs. retail.) 4. eBay - You want to know what people are paying now, check eBay's complete auctions.Of course you have to account for in the "noobie" factor. 5. Other Auction Results - If you can access them, you probably can't get much better info than that.Problem is they are limited to mid- and high-priced coins.The 1964-D MS-66 coin just won't be there.[/QUOTE]
