[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 467785, member: 13650"]Just because people are unwilling to carry a book with them doesn't mean they are informed. How fortunate for dealers that most people at a show will just assume that the prices they have are reasonable. Back to the 1935 Peace dollar. Are you telling me the red book was an unreasonable guide for this MS-63 coin? It was within $10 of what the seller was selling it for and I doubt they consulted the Red Book first. Is that just a coincidence? That was the first coin show I had been to in a long while and they had a Red Book at the front table and many people used it including myself. I never claimed that the Red Book is going to pin point prices within 0.50 cents. I wouldn't expect it to. I would expect it to get me within a reasonable price range for a coin.
