<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2973703, member: 74282&quot;]For the sort of coins you see in big name auctions ACSearch is a good paid resource or CNG archives if you don&#039;t want to pay. For lower value coins look at eBay sold listings. That said prices fluctuate a lot depending on venue, time of year, rare styles/varieties and a whole host of other factors that are sometimes hard to understand. It&#039;s not at all uncommon to see a coin sell for half or double what a similar or even the same coin sold for a year ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice is to look at prices sold for similar coins and try to figure out what a coin is worth <i>to you</i> rather than constantly hunting for a bargain as some collectors do. For the most part I don&#039;t regret when I get outbid on coins that are common enough that I can bid on a similar one again next month but I still kick myself for not bidding more on some truly special coins where I focused more on what similar coins sold for than how much I wanted the coin and how much it would have been worth <i>to me</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
