[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 822081, member: 17557"]Couldn't agree more my friend. Shoewrecky, Redbook is a good guide to get an idea of what they go for, but I strongly recommend that you don't use it for seeing what you should pay. The Redbook is about as high as it gets for retail prices. Use eBay's completed listings, and figure out a fair price to pay. Also use greysheet, like you've been doing. Also you made a comment about a lincoln about having three scratches and not being uncirculated. Just because it has scratches doesn't mean it isn't uncirculated. Being circulated or uncirculated is decided by the amount of wear on the coin, uncirculated coins should have no wear. With that being said, are you sure you are grading the coins correctly? If you aren't grading them, are you sure he is grading them correctly? I'd strongly recommend these books for your grading: [URL="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/the-official-ana-grading-standards-for-united-states-coins-hidden-spiral.html"]ANA Grading Standards[/URL] [URL="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/the-official-red-book-a-guide-book-of-lincoln-cents.html"]Official Lincoln RedBook[/URL][/QUOTE]
