Both the 2008 and the 2010 Red Book have G-4 Braided Hair Cents at $18. That pretty much matches what I see in stores. I know this is only one example, but it seems like price guides should be pretty good at valuing coins that are common enough to essentially be commodities, especially given their ability to influence the market. I can see where the TPGs have an interest in exaggerating the value of slabbed coins, but what interest would Whitman have?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can someone point out examples of common coins where the 2010 Red Book price is likely to vary more than 10 percent from what I can see right now in stores in Seattle or Portland?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, does &quot;Trends&quot; mean a sort of average value from various price information sources, or does it refer to a specific pricing source?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
