Southern Gent,
As mentioned, it is just a guide. So are the other guides, such as the greysheet. For what it's worth, the greysheet shows lower prices than you mentioned for that grade range, because it is intended to be a wholesale guide.
You have to watch what they sell for (completed auctions on ha.com/ebay, and what dealers are asking for them) and decide what is a good deal for you.

The RedBook is a coffee table book. The Gray Sheet is what you need to be using. |

I personally buy a Grey Sheet every few months, just to keep current...

As a side note to the discussion. Halfwitty will need to wait until you've been here long enough and have 50 quality posts to sell or make a deal. Forum rules.

The RedBook is usually about 12-15 months behind as the 2010 book is published in the middle of 2009 and a lot can happen between the time the book prices are determined, the book printed and then distributed and sold. I will never buy or sell a coin based on current RedBook. Greysheet is wholesale so that is not valid either. Use ebay to help determine values as well as the internet as a whole. Sincerely, John Leckrone |

agree that internet sales results are a good way to measure current market conditions.

We might need a rule clarification here. I was under the impression the rule applied to selling coins & that a qualified member could sell to unqualified members if they chose. I'm leery of selling to anyone that hasn't been around at least 6 months myself but can see that other sellers might have a different opinion.

It goes both ways... Quote:
You must have at least 50 quality* posts and have been a member for at least 14 days to post anything involving buying, selling, or trading. This applies to any forum at all, not just the Buy/Sell/Trade forums. Established members may not make any reference to a new member under 50 posts involving buying, selling or trading.

Should I consider signing up for getting the gray sheets? Would it be more accurate? I lake to have a really good idea of what the item I want to purchase is really worth. I don't mind paying a premium for a stellar coin but not a the sellers whim.
No need to sign up, just buy what you need alacart. I just buy the electronic monthly suppliment a few times a year for $3. It has all the prices I need (Lincolns).  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
