<p>[QUOTE="DW-coins, post: 1316631, member: 33380"]I've found that PGCS is sometimes above FMV and sometimes below FMV, it's all a bit of guess work. I also know that guides can be easily manipulated, especially the graysheets and if a big buyer wants to get things for cheap, he'll flush the CCE with lower ask prices and over a few weeks may have to sacrifice a few but what can easily make that up when the new graysheets start picking up the downward change. Then once he's purchased about all he can use he'll start knocking up the bid price and purchase a few at higher levels but again will make up for it a month or two later when the graysheets reflect higher prices. Another great example are Civil War era coins. Numismedia/NGC and PCGS both show them at significantly lower prices than what Heritage and others are getting. Somebody's looking to make a market in these coins and is keeping the prices artificially low.</p><p>So I would say the BEST price guide to use is Heritage and B&M auction prices as well as Ebay completed listing searches. This will give you a much better feel for current pricing than any guide can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
