[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 392262, member: 11467"]It makes sense to do what you are comfortable with and enjoy, hopefully on an informed basis. Just for fun, I am going to take 2 real life examples and illustrate them here. For the record, I don't know the answers before I look them up... Very recently, I bought an NGC MS67 Norfolk out of auction for $517. Checking "graysheet"......bid is $500 and ask is $550. And the PCGS Price Guide price is......$850 I also bought a really pretty (though my images don't capture the color well) PCGS MS66 Roanoke for $460. "Graysheet" bid is $310 and ask is $340, but the PCGS Price Guide says.....$475. I think you can quickly see that there are large % price differences between the two price sources and that they shouldn't be treated as one and the same. Here are images of the two coins in question: [IMG]http://markfeldcoins.com/client/commemNorfolk.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://markfeldcoins.com/client/commemRoanke.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
