<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flintcreek6412, post: 1907646, member: 61025&quot;]I&#039;ve only been back into the coin game a few months and I&#039;ve come to realize there is no actual price guide for everything.&nbsp; Grey sheet is a good reference for some coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Auction prices are good but you will see such spreads in identical grades/years based upon eye appeal that I all boils down to what you feel comfortable paying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider something as basic as an 1883CC Morgan in MS63.&nbsp; You will see auction prices from $150 to $400 plus.&nbsp; PCGS price guide has it at $230.&nbsp; Grey sheet $210/225. </p><p><br /></p><p>Throw a CAC sticker on a slab and that creates an entirely new price variable.&nbsp; Right now I looking to pick up a coin that is more expensive than the grey sheet by about 25%.&nbsp; It is in the high range of realized auction prices but it&#039;s slabbed PCGS/CAC which usually seem command a bit more.&nbsp; But the eye appeal is 10x that of any other coin of it&#039;s grade/year.&nbsp; Will I get out of it what I&#039;m looking to pay?&nbsp; Not likely anytime soon.&nbsp; But the eye appeal may just be worth it to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Buy the coin, not the slab.&nbsp; &nbsp; Time will tell if I pull the trigger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
