Heritage auction archives is better than ebay sold for higher priced coins. If you're talking about that 1900-O/CC, there were 13 PCGS MS64 (non-CAC) sold in 2024, mostly in a range from $1400 to 1650 (including buyer's premium). The PCGS Price Guide is another option. |

Thank you Zurie,
i have heard ppl on the forum saying that pcgs price guide is a bit high hence my question
Heritage is tricky I think they also have a seller fee and not only buyers premium

All information sources have issues, since no two coins are exactly alike. It really depends on value, slabbing state, and purpose for estimating. For example, insurance vs. retail purchase vs. selling. Which plastic company (all of them are proud of their plastic). Rare or common (auction archives for rare material - but be careful of thinly traded items, vs. ebay for relatively common). -----Burton 50 year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, OnLine Coin Club Owned by four cats and a wife of 40 years (joined 1983) |

Of course, "buy the coin and not the slab" applies, so you'd need to make sure the coin lives up to the grade on the slab.

I generally use Numismedia for pricing coins. It's a more realistic guide than any of the grading companies' sites. And I back off of the Numismedia price as you suggested, about 20-25% for retail purchases. Their O/CC prices are slightly higher than I've seen in recent GC sales - another guide that I use.

well the o over cc went for 1100 to a buyer in the us and he will have to pay insured freight and tax I guess, I didnt have the guts to buy it since pics was bad. Also the seller didnt respond to questions about more pics

If I am in the market for coins at retail prices, I believe theirs are a fairly accurate guide. Of course, I try to buy below retail, but if it is something that I can't live without I will go up to the Numismedia price or even a little higher. I nearly always buy at auction - bid low and factor in fees / shipping.

I find Numismedia quite useful.

Many times the price guides disagree by a significant margin.
Today I priced a coin.
Numismedia = $880
PCGS = $1175
NGC = $900
CDN Retail = $1000
That would make an average retail price = $988.75
