<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 3931453, member: 9270&quot;]One of my difficulties is knowing how much to bid/pay for a die variety.</p><p>And this carries over into how much to value my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Example: Capped Bust Quarters/Variety 2 (Reduced Diameter) 1831-1838</p><p>The Red Book lists 8 dates with three having die varieties (total of 11 coins).</p><p>But if you look at die varieties in Thompson or Peterson there are 36 (8 dates all having anywhere from 1 to 8 die varieties).</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, you can get some information from auction results.</p><p>But not all die varieties can be found.</p><p>Many results are just by date.</p><p>Often the best I can do is go by the rarity number and think that I should pay a bit more for an R-4 than an R-3.</p><p>Of course &quot;a bit more&quot; is just a WAG.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Are there web sites that get into prices by die variety?</b></p><p>On a guess I would think maybe there are for EAC coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
