[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 505783, member: 13650"]You can buy a single, up to date greysheet on ebay for 4 bucks any time you would like. It's a printed, wholesale price list that comes out weekly in order to try to stay up to date as much as possible. It's somewhat generic, in that it will break down Morgans by date, MM and grade because they are so popular. But other, stuff like Barber quarters will just get one generic line for the average common wholesale price. Gold piece listings will only be separated by a range of dates such as motto, no motto, or by types in the series. Most stuff isn't broke down by date and MM like the redbook. They're wholesale prices so you can't hardly go to a show and expect a dealer to comply but it should give you a decent idea of the approximate markup on many coins. If you do pay close to greysheet than you can probably assume that you got a reasonable to good deal. For example, I have the Jan. 16th issue in hand. They list modern $5 gold commemoratives in a column on page 3B. If I wanted to buy a 2006 S.F. $5 gold PF commem, the Bid price is $225. Ask is $240. You can look on ebay and find NGC PF70s selling for 310.00 or less. This narrows down a reasonable range for this coin at this point in time. $320 for an ungraded example would apparently be too much. (Wouldn't be surprised to see somebody trying to sell at that point) But they likely aren't going to give you ask price as a customer either. Thus, you should find this coin with a negotiable price within 250-300 range. You can't hardly ask for much more of a guide than this. Use it in conjunction with the best deal you can find online.[/QUOTE]
