The reason this is posted in the classic section is because the grades associated with lowballs are usually represented by classic US coins. Anywho, when looking at wholesale or any other price guide, when there isn't a price listed for say. AG-3 or FR-02, but rather only G-4, what are YOUR ways of assessing the potential value? Like if it's an AG-3 you cut 25% of the value off of the G-4 price, interested to hear how others go about this.

This varies a lot from coin to coin. In another thread there's an 1859 IHC that graded PCGS PO1. Because some collectors pursue lowballs (which can be FR2 for some series') the prices can go way up when certified below AG3.

Take a look the Heritage Auctions completed listings (membership is free) to get an idea of current market values. Some paid sites do offer price guides down to PO1 but they are usually not very accurate.

I've been amazed at some of the prices I've seen "Low Ball" graded coins sell for.
