I have been a subscriber to blue sheet for a few months and have just subscribed to Red sheet. WOW is there one heap of difference in the pricing and information available on the red sheet. It has changed the way I bid on coins as of NOW ( Except when I really Want/Need one  ) The difference between the market price and the wholesale price is quite interesting  |

Can you give me an example trout? I dont subscribe to either, so I would be curious about the spread in price. For example. I picked up an xf1916 florin. I paid 420 for it. What does each sheet say?

In my opinion you paid way too much for that coin  blue sheet price EF-40 = $120 AU-50 =$200 red sheet price EF-40 = $36 AU-50 = $85 |

 Well I suppose you get burned some times. Bit of a bummer. Are you sure though, because my Australian coin and banknote book has retail price for a 1916m florin at extra fine condition costing somewhere around 525 dollars? |

O goodie, lets try some simple coins and what I know the current value of.
Compare price.
1921 plain threepence grade low- VG talking $4 â€" $6
1960 florin low grade â€" VG talking $5 - $7
This doesn't take into account current silver price because for the last 2 weeks silver has been up $4 and that makes crap florins like $10ea in silver price which is a total poop if you're a buyer.

If your florin is a trie aussie EF then you probably didnt get burned too much. What is the blue sheet price for AU-55. That would be more accurate than AU-50 I would say.
Maybe you could post a picture of the coin jizer?

Yea I can try taking some pictures tonight or tomorrow. I'll have to barrow a camera, but I'm sure someone around here has a nice Nikon or something.

red sheet price EF-40 = $36 AU-50 = $85 Trout are you sure they arn't the prices of 1916 Shillings? You really have gone to the dark side with certified coins  . From my understanding of the red sheet it gives a value that you would expect to receive if you sold a coin to a dealer. In other words the minimum price you can expect for a coin. I dont think you will win many auctions if you stick to red sheet values. |

AC as much as I would love to share the info on these sheets I really cannot do it. The information is owned by Walter and I pay for the privilege of accessing it , I doubt very much that he would appreciate me giving it out for free. The information I gave was a one off and I hope I haven't trod on anyone's toes doing it |

I was going by this http://www.pcgseurope.com/StaticCon...parison?l=enI now realise that is comparison for english grading standards which I have heard are more strict than ours. I still think a 1916 Florin in EF is worth $250-300 anyday. If its a nice EF then I dont think $400 is too bad. I tend to go with 50-70% of maccas prices when deciding on a fair price for a coin. High grade examples seem to be closer to catalogue still. |

The last AU graded sale on record is an AU58 on ebay going for $399. |

I'm afraid not trout. Here is a comparison of Sheldon Grading to ANDA grading from Walters own website. http://www.numismatics.com.au/Blog/...rading_Guidescroll down a bit and you will see that AU-55 is the equivalent of aEF. |
