[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1452469, member: 29581"]Detecto come on bud, you have GOT to stop relying on Red Book as a reliable price guide. I know I'm not the only one to mention that to you in the past. The other thing is you're going to take anything from Wikipedia as reliable? Wikipedia is user submitted material, for the most part, and much of the sources of that information is highly questionable. Case in point, I found a Wikipedia listing for members of my ancestral line, which was 100% completely, and undeniably incorrect, and I have found many user submitted articles on Wikipedia to be inaccurate as well. For numismatic items, you really need to stick to the more reliable information sources, which Red Book is considered by the majority of this hobby to be. Only their price guide is unreliable, for reason already stated by many, but I will reiterate for you: THE PRICE GUIDE PRICES ARE ALREADY OUTDATED BY THE TIME RED BOOK IS PUBLISHED AND AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Remember that and you'll never go wrong :thumb:[/QUOTE]
