<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1333989, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m sorry, but that&#039;s simply not true. I have never even heard of a dealer who uses the Red Book as a guide to sell coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, that&#039;s because the prices listed in the Red Book are that far away from reality. You need to completely forget all the prices listed in the Red Book.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s because that&#039;s what is going on in the real world.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re not short sighted, you&#039;re just being misguided -by the prices listed in the Red Book.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just about everybody does lose money on coins they sell, except dealers. And even a lot of them lose money on some of the coins they sell. You cannot buy coins at retail prices and then expect to be able to sell them and make a profit. Not unless you wait quite a few years after you buy them. And even then, you&#039;ll still be very lucky to even break even, let alone show any profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to find fairly graded and fairly priced problem free coins then you need to start looking in different places than you are looking now. You also need to become aware of what real world prices are for any given coin in any given grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best place there is for you to do that is on Heritage. Registering with Heritage is free, I strongly urge you to do that. If you do, then you could look at this link and see what the coins you want are actually selling for like you can at this link - <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&amp;Ntt=VF&amp;Nty=1&amp;N=51+790+231+373&amp;chkNotSold=0&amp;Ns=" rel="nofollow"></a>That link will show you all completed auctions for Liberty Seated halves graded VF. There are about 30 that have sold this past month alone. But less than half of them were problem free. And not a one was in the price range you quoted. That&#039;s because the price range you quoted was totally inaccurate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
