<p>[QUOTE="Moen1305, post: 153325, member: 2544"]If you look at any price guide and then check what the same coin sells for on ebay, you'll find in most cases that the prices aren't all that different. There are of course some exceptions when people who don't know what they are doing get involved and start bidding but I'd bet that there are enough coins that go for less than they are worth to offset the outrageous prices a few of them go for and consequentally average out the overall prices to the book values. There really is no way to prove that easily but I have purchased enough on ebay be confident in my assertion. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW I have purchased several coins on ebay from a seller named <span style="color: red">Clickandship</span> in the past and they have been an excellent seller until recently. They use stock photos but the coins they send have been first rate. While I was away on vacation earlier this month, I bid on a proof coin and I let them know that I might be gone until the 9th and that I would pay when I got home if I was the eventual winner. They sent a quick reply saying basically thanks for the heads up. Turns out I did win the coin and managed to pay for it while at my brothers house on the 4th and half expected it to be waiting for me when I got home or soon after. Guess what. It never showed up.
