<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2050245, member: 112&quot;]Mark, a couple of things here. First of all, don&#039;t pay any attention to the prices/values you see in any of the price guides - just ignore them. Now that goes for any coin, but it goes especially for world coins. Several reasons for that but chief among them is that with world coins price guides are based on very limited data. </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly when comparing a raw world coin to a slabbed example you have to consider the TPGs accuracy at grading them, as well as consider who is providing the grade for the raw example, whether that be yourself or the seller - how accurate is that grade ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now me, I&#039;m always going to trust my own grade more than I do anybody else&#039;s, with very few exceptions. You may be the same, or not. I don&#039;t know. But what I do know is you are the one who has to make that decision. Therefore the grade that you are considering for the raw coin, may or may not be accurate for comparison purposes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you want to know or find out accurate prices/vales for world coins there are two places I would recommend you to use - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinarchives.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinarchives.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinarchives.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/index.html?mcs=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/index.html?mcs=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/index.html?mcs=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You will find much more reliable data at both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
