Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 9:30 pm From my experience of the Australian catalogues (Maccas & Renniks), they are quite unreliable. They are way too high. A good place to do your own research is completed sales on ebay, or at other auctions. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 12:31 am The important thing to remember is that price guides are just "guides". No-one is forced to buy or sell at those prices. Dealers and other people that sell coins and banknotes can ask for whatever price they wish. Whether anyone actually pays their asking price is another question. In the end, a coin or banknote is only worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it. There are some books and catalogues that are actually price lists. The Spink catalogue of British coins, for example, is a price list published by a coin dealer; that coin dealer is prepared to sell coins at the prices published in their own book. However, they will not buy coins off you for that same price. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 3:22 pm One of your questions appears to be where do the people that make those price guides get their information. 1.Many suspect they just guess. 2.Some think they ask people walking down the street. 3.I don't think most have any idea of what a coin should be priced at. 4.In reality I suspect the people that make all price Guides simple use last years versions, add a few percents, subtract a little, and possibly a little based on what they themselves hope to get for their coins. Most of the above is supposed to be a bit on the comical side although I really don't think most that make price Guides know more than you or me. For any real possible value of a coin, it's always best to see what they are selling for on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverEye Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 4:36 pm A collector might have a price guide, but a dealer will for sure. To make sure the dealer likes your price guide, they put high prices in it so the dealer can show a customer "look I'm giving this item away at 25% under wholesale. Under wholesale! You buy now!"
