<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 688006, member: 19098&quot;]It depends on the coin and guide. Some coins will go for more than guide prices, many more go for less, again depending on the coin and the price guide. See what real coins sell for at auction, at retail, and also if possible at wholesale, and that will give a person a good indication. Also see what coins are available all the time, and which are truly difficult to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no rule of thumb for all coins, it varies, depending on the series, the date, the price guide used, and again on the availability. If a person finds that Redbook is consistently way under what the coins they are interested in are selling for at auction and at retail, that is useful information. If that trend holds for a length of time, with many data points, it is probably good information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learning about pricing and availability generally takes some time, a lot more time than just looking up a price in a guide (any guide), or on any one auction site. A person interested in expensive coins would do well to invest some time in the learning (as well as learning how to grade).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
