[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 197034, member: 705"]That is just what we are saying.....go back and read the posts. He said that he has gone to Heritage and checked the price guides that they have and they show that the coins are worth $3k more and therefore he has made a good investment---what I am saying is that rarely are price guides right---while I trust Heritage more than PCGS--If I buy a coin for $200 and Heritage says that the coin is worth $500 then more than likely when I sell it I'm going to get $200----just because a price guide says something doesn't mean its truth. So therefore we told him that if he wants to make sure that coins are a good investment for him then he should sell the coins NOW at the $5k and see how it works out. Maybe I'm not plain---and if not I'm sorry---go back and read the posts again. I bought a 1926-S Buff Nickel---I paid $115 for it and it graded VF---now Heritage said that the coin was worth $400---but yet when I contact DLRC they make an offer of $250....now what one shows the true "market value"?.....I sold it to DLRC and since then have seen a good many of these coins sell for lower than $400....while Heritage Prices do show the true value in most cases, sometimes they can be dead wrong. Thanks ;) I'm going to be setting up at the show again when they have it and I'm going to try to take more ASE---maybe some of my Strike Throughs :D :D ! The other thing I was asked about some were Barber coins----Key dates were RED hot...even for a small show. I took: 1914-D Cent in PCGS G4 1908-S IHC in VG 1926-S Nickel in NGC VF20 1932-S Quarter in NGC F-15 I went home with only the nickel left---both cents sold almost before the show was opened by another dealer and he sold the IHC again that day to someone else. The Quarter I used in a trade for a 1909-S IHC in VF---- The only Proof Set that went good was the 1955 Box Proof set.... World coins didn't sell at all--- Will do :D :D :D The only Mint Sets that I like to pick up now days are: 1981 1973 1970 1996 and such dates---I need to get another 1996 as I traded mine for a Prestige <sp?> Set..I think it is a 1997...
