<p>[QUOTE="mumu, post: 896087, member: 24620"]I am researching fair market value on a certain coin which is becoming impossible because it has apparently never sold anywhere. Now Krause lists the coin in UNC @ 850$ and 900 in BU. Problem with this is that the coin is ~1.2 ounces of gold. (41 gram coin @ .9 gold). This would put the coin at NEGATIVE numismatic value versus the spot price of gold at any time in the past 3 years, so even if the 2010 edition of Krause which I have was printed well before 2010, the price just doesnt seem anywhere near.</p><p> </p><p>I have tracked the coin down and was quoted a price of 2500-3000. This is a very low mintage piece(under 1000). The only price reference I have is this Krause estimate. I know its wrong right off the bat but just how wrong is it? Should it be thrown out the window completely and does anyone have any other usggestions on researching the true value of such a piece any other way? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
