[QUOTE="clembo, post: 525099, member: 8033"]An honest answer? NONE IMHO. At work I tend to look at Coin Prices for an "idea" as to what retail is. The boss sets the final price and we will frequently use a combination of Greysheet, Coin Prices, Ebay and Heritage. Depends on the "value" of the coin as well. If someone comes in looking for a BU 1974 Roosevelt dime we practically give it away IF we have one. Someone walks in for an 1893-S Morgan it's a whole different story. THEN we start to do some serious research. Once again IF we have one. To me PCGS is a waste of time in most cases. Sure, I'd love to realize the prices they quote but it is often SO far above what things ACTUALLY go for. One will also find times where "retail" is lower than greysheet. In that case expect to pay greysheet. Redbook is informative - we rarely consult it for prices. We try to look at what the real market is doing and the higher dollar the coin the more research we do. No real set guides for truly tougher coins.[/QUOTE]
