PCGS Coin Value

Also sales tax could be added which would add an extra 8% or so. That's the main reason I can't buy anything from Heritage living in NY. Can't wait 'till we move to FL.

thank you for the comments! a lot to consider. it's good to know that the fees are included, but that may artificially inflate the price over time. and maybe everyone knows this and takes it into account. maybe not. so if I were to buy a coin at the ANA show in Chicago, I would have to pay Illinois sales tax also? how about stack's and bowers? I don't recall seeing anywhere in the terms and agreement about sales tax, just the 17.5% buyers fee. there's an internet session for ANA.

Any auction result as listed should definitely include the hammer price and buyer's premium. What is not included is the shipping and sales tax. The shipping, which will always include some form of insurance, is generally based off the final price as it rises in certain increments. The sales tax only effects certain states. Let em tell you, CA is not nice. Rule of thumb....just add 10% onto whatever price you see. Also keep in mind that auction results will usually yield somewhat higher sales than ebay or what should be offered in a LCS. I've found, you can pay about 10% less on ebay than at heritage or stacks, but there is a large variance depending on what you're buying.
