<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1778724, member: 12789&quot;]Seriously - you guide your purchases based on NGC&#039;s price guide?&nbsp; I have coins that I bought that in PCGS and NGC&#039;s price guides price out at double what I paid for them but I don&#039;t pat my bum saying I got a good deal because some fool in a windowless says that is how much it is worth.&nbsp; I have one that prices deep into five figures in their ridiculous guides but actuality/reality are often different and what the market will bear.&nbsp; I am looking to sell it to finance a colonial Massachusetts Pine Tree shilling but I know the market is not what those perfidious price guides say.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After this experience, I notice they have the coin marked &quot;sold&quot; already - they will probably put the kebash on layaways.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another fallacy - you think the coin will upgrade from NGC into a PCGS holder - actually the inverse might result - and often does.&nbsp; And why waste your money re-holdering the coin in the first place?&nbsp; It might come back as a MS-63 and you are further sunk, once from the &quot;price guide&quot; price and second from paying to re-holder the coin and not realising what you hoped for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
