<p>[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 142701, member: 5629"]I personally beleive it depends on what you intend to do with the coin. If you intend to sell the coin to the dealer, then use what the dealers generally use which is the CDN sheets. If you're going the online auction route, then the realized prices with eBay, Heritage, and Teletrade are good sources. I also use eCoinPrices.com on rare occassions when there is not any other reliable source. I have found them to be pretty close to the PCGS price guide, which subsequently comes close to a 400% markup of the true coin value in most cases. So taking 25% of the PCGS guide is a pretty good idea of the market tolerance for coin values.</p><p><br /></p><p>It all depends on how much research you want to do.
