<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 672392, member: 19098&quot;]I use all that have been mentioned, probably use Teletrade the most because it is a bit faster than Heritage, though not as comprehensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most folks that use auction price archives quickly learn that the two coins, in the same grade, even if in the same company&#039;s holder often go for very different prices. Sometimes it has to do with quality, sometimes it is just the right bidders showing up. For most coins with a decent number of data points, the high price is often double the low price, in the same company&#039;s holder. Add in more companies to the mix, or coin specific factors such as spectacular toning, and the price variance gets even wider. </p><p><br /></p><p>For expensive coins, it is generally best to research a variety of price resources, including dealer website asking prices before spending the big money, or selling that expensive coin. Expensive may have a different definition for each collector. For generic widely available coins, a person will usually learn quickly enough how close real world buy and sell prices are to their chosen guide(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>Price guides, even auction archives are only guides. Pricing is one factor, availability is another. With some years in the hobby a collector can learn which coins are truly tough to find, and which are available at most every show and most every auction, and bid/buy accordingly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
