<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 336124, member: 112&quot;]Mike, Krause prices can be all over the place. Many, many times I have seen them be 2 to 10 times too low -&nbsp; and -&nbsp; 2 to 10 times too high. There really is no rhyme or reason. </p><p><br /></p><p>But in many cases the Krause catalog is all we have to provide estimates for world coin values. And that is why, whenever anyone quotes an estimate of a world coin value, they typically preface their estimate by saying - this is what Krause says. That is because they know that the prices listed in the Krause catalog are basically meaningless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause is no different than any other price guide in that regard. If you really want to know what the value of a world coin is then you have to look at realized auction prices. And I don&#039;t mean auction prices from ebay for they are also often meaningless because many of those bidding on ebay have no idea of value either.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you have to look at are auction prices from recognized auction houses that sell world coinage. For typically the buyers at these auctions <u>are</u> well educated when it comes to values of world coinage and they don&#039;t over-pay or under-pay. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the link provided by grivna earlier for Coin Archives is the best source that I know of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
