[QUOTE="kanga, post: 573080, member: 9270"]Good answer. Most of what I have to say will be a repeat. The [U]greysheet[/U] is dealer-to-dealer prices (wholesale) and is a weekly. But there is always a lag since it getting it put together, printed and mailed takes time. And it's expensive. Not much listed after 1964. Ignore it unless you get heavy into older coins. [LEFT][U]Auction[/U] and [U]online buying[/U] results are the closest to real-time as you'll get. Jim M mentioned the best and easiest (eBay, Teletrade & Heritage). And they're free. Use them in conjunction other sources so that you can weed out the prices that are obviously too high. [U]PCGS[/U] has a free price listing on their site. Expect their values to be a bit high. In other words you should be able to beat their prices. There's nothing wrong with [U]monthly[/U] listings. Prices don't change [B]THAT[/B] fast. (This statement ignores bullion, speculation and plain idiocy.) [I]Coin Values[/I] from [I]Coin World[/I] is a good example. I personally use the greysheet and [I]Coin Values[/I]. I expect to have to pay more than the greysheet but less than [I]Coin Values[/I].[/LEFT][/QUOTE]
