<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PennyGuy, post: 687909, member: 17502&quot;]Good question Kent, one that raises all sorts of issues.&nbsp; The Red Book and magazines will only report of selected grades, you cannot extrapolate the values of in-between grades easily.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The best price reference points for me have been the Greysheet (Coin Dealer Newsletter), you can buy these one issue at a time on line at cdn.com.&nbsp; Do take notice of the fine print at the bottom of the first page of each issue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Other good resources are the auction web sites.&nbsp; You can join these for free, but you get access to the completed auction pricing.&nbsp; A few quick searches and you can get some valuable price references.&nbsp; eBay completed auctions can also be searched for free.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With all that said, there are still more issues.&nbsp; Take any coin graded by a major Third Party Grader (TPG), there are differences in coins all graded the same grade by the same TPG, let along between TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; There really is a range, what a single price reference in a book or a web site won&#039;t tell you where that specific coin fits within that range.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My message is research, research, and then research some more.&nbsp; When all is said and done you will still find someone willing to pay well above any historical price reference because they really WANT that one coin.&nbsp; But at least you&#039;ll be equipped to recognize that crazy bid, and not to be taken in by a unrealistilly high asking price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
