ONLY then is any price guide of any use whatsoever. Most are fairly close to what you will pay for a coin in that grade in good CONDITION. MOST coins are not in that condition and allowances must be made for corrosion, discoloration, scratches, dings, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, if you are selling to a dealer, you must consider that he must make a margin for expenses and profit so the price he pays will be between 50% and 90% of retail depending on how well that particular coin is likely to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most people get real excited when they find a coin in AG-F grade and look up a price which only shows MS63. The price difference is ENORMOUS many times. If the price in the grade isn&#039;t shown, it&#039;s probably not worth much in that grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
