<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 793809, member: 18304&quot;]Spreadsheets help but most of the time they can&#039;t be broken down enough to indicate value of premium coins with low populations. For instance Lincon cents typically look the same at AU 58 and below and spreadsheets are somewhat useful, But they break bown once coins show MS detail. Sometimes I will gladly pay multiples of price guid values if a particular coin is exceptional. Example: 1909 s Lincoln cent 66BN pop 3. NGC price guide shows 720.00(and they never give out that technical grade unless all the stars line up) but if any example is ever offered for sale it would easily bring more. I also think &quot;nice technical grade, but that coin is dull and uneventful&quot; and I wouldn&#039;t pay bid for it. Usually I will buy an exceptinal coin at any price if I feel I won&#039;t see one for sale for many years. But it always boils down to buy the coin not the slab and usually toss the price guids out the window.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
