[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 7664258, member: 21705"]It's the age old problem of a little information without understanding the context. I see it ALL THE TIME when people look up a coin in a price guide without understanding that it is a price for straight grade coins with no problems. If they understand at all, they think the problems should only be discounted by a few percent when the market is far harsher. Then they look at asking prices for people selling on eBay who are in the same boat or just looking for a passing sucker and think it's verification. There is little awareness that condition affects the value of a coin even more than grade. There are no rules of thumb on pricing here. A details XF can net to a market grade for a problem free VF or F or VG or G or AG or Fr or even P depending on the problem(s). But trying to explain this, even to some in the business, becomes exhausting. Especially when they think you're trying to rip them off.[/QUOTE]
