<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 316666, member: 6449&quot;]I may be missing something, but when I go to the Red Book to look up coins, I find very few grades listed, so even if you believed absolutely in the numbers, you might not find one for a particular grade of coin you need it for. </p><p><br /></p><p>The listings in &quot;Coin Values&quot; are more detailed, but still missing some grades and as others have pointed out, they vary a lot.&nbsp; For high priced coins they can differ by $1,000 or more from other listings. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the value of a coin, by definition, is determined by recent auction closing prices.&nbsp; The closing prices are a useful guide.&nbsp; However, an important caveat is that prices on closed auctions vary a lot within a given grade and TPG depending on the eye appeal of the coins.&nbsp; I still find it the most useful guide.&nbsp; You can get an idea of the highest price paid for a coin, but you don&#039;t necessarily have to feel like you&#039;ve been taken if you pay more for a coin with exceptional eye appeal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
