<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ycon, post: 2973713, member: 91771&quot;]I heavily rely on coinarchives.com, which has all the major auction results from the last 6 months-year. If I&#039;m looking for rarer coins I use acsearch.com. acsearch has listings dating back around 15 years, but they don&#039;t tell you the price, unless you pay. However if you search the particular auction, and it has been in the last five years, chances are you can find a results sheet from the auction houses&#039; website, and then cross check the lot number. Sixbid and biddr also have archives but these are hard to browse from the sites. Instead, google the auction you&#039;re looking for with the date and either sixbid or biddr and you will *probably* find the auction archive. I also use CNG&#039;s sold lot archive. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that the prices listed on all these sites don&#039;t include the buyers fees, which are often quite substantial, ~20%. It&#039;s also useful to look at the estimate vs. price realized. Often times the estimates on these sites are artificially low to encourage bidding. It&#039;s also useful to note when a lot goes unsold what the starting price was. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly for more common coins you can search on vcoins and ma-shops and ebay to see what other sellers are charging. I find it difficult to use the sold lot archives on these sites, so I rarely try. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re looking for a coin that maybe a lot more commonly sold in one country than another (say a taler in germany or a papal coin in Italy or a Tudor coin in the UK) look at that country&#039;s version of ebay to see if they sell for a very different sum, there. Just including international sellers on a regular ebay search will miss a lot of listings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
