<p>[QUOTE="superc, post: 1720072, member: 44079"]I threw Cointrackers up there because it is fast, easy and accesible to anyone. Do they have disputable prices for some coins? Heck yeah. In fact one of my favorite frustrations there is two of my Morgan dollar variations (year & mint) aren't even listed in the selection box. Some users may have the Redbook. All of us have the Internet (or we couldn't be here). Truth be told none of the what is it worth sources, be they printed or online can be used to predict how much you will get for this or that coin. There are too many wildcards in the selling game. They just provide a general guide to determine if the coin is worth buying or keeping or not, and does it tend to bring more than a dateless junk coin? Will I accept dateless coins? Sure. I have a collection goal of acquiring 250 #s of easily liquidated (i.e., undated US silver coins) silver, and a long way to go. Dated coins don't count towards that goal with me and are for trading, acquiring, holding then selling so I can buy something else. I usually sell through Ebay. That place is impossible to predict. Pick a coin, find it on Ebay, then if your access is high enough check out the 'closed auction' and 'completed auction' screens. Prices all over the rainbow. One guy sold it for $10, but someone else got $130, etc., etc. Just last night I watched a one ounce 2012 ASEs in VF go for $75 there while another one described as MS69 went for $40.
