<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 766959, member: 19165&quot;]Thank you for listening to my recommendations and adjusting the Franklin prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>In late October, I sent an email to Steve Roach, editor of the CoinValues magazine. I informed him of the incredibly erroneous and extremely exaggerated values the magazine had listed for Franklins, especially FBL Franklins, and gave him example after example of recent purchases at fractions of the listed values. He quickly responded, saying:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Hi Jason,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for the note. </p><p>In taking a look at the prices, I agree that they’re off in many places for FBL Franklins.</p><p>I will review and adjust them over the next two weeks to make them more reflective of the market.</p><p>Then, I hope that you provide me with further feedback on them based on your experiences in the marketplace. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best,</p><p>Steve&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I just purchased the latest edition of CoinValues (cover date February 2010), and I&#039;m extremely pleased to say that not only did he keep his word - he did an excellent job. The values listed for FBL Franklins now closely reflect current market trends, and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone pay CoinValues prices for most FBLs listed. Comparing my previous copy (cover date September 2009) and the one I just bought, values have been cut well over 50% for many coins. Using my collection as a reference, the values listed have been cut on average 58% - and the values listed are now within 2% of what I actually paid for my collection overall. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a comparison to other guides - the PCGS price guide is about 40% higher than what I actually paid, Numismedia retail is about 20% higher, and Tomaska&#039;s advertised prices in CoinValues (on the same page as the Franklin prices), is about 230% higher than what I paid. </p><p><br /></p><p>In conclusion, good job to the editors of CoinValues. Thank you for listening to me. </p><p>Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
