centsdimes Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 09:21 am I've been told that Coin World and the Red Book are the two most reliable price lists. Would you people agree? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 09:58 am Numismedia is currently considered the list most closely reflecting reality. With so much real-world sales records available, though, why would one want to depend on a published list? Just go find out what people are paying today. Report this Post to the Staff
centsdimes Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 10:00 am I've got more than 400 coins. That would be very time-consuming. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan78 Pillar of the Community United States 1068 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 10:00 am I buy Coins Magazine and they have a price lists on like everything American and I would say there are probably pretty consistent on prices and on par with the others... If it is higher or lower then the other two just add all the prices and divide by how many there are and you would get a good idea on what something is worth... Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 10:38 am I keep mine on google docs, and I have both RedBook prices and ebay purchases. I update monthly. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...?usp=sharing Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 11:02 am I use the realized prices of ebay and Heritage Auction and make my own price evaluation on the coin that I am trying to buy. There can be lot of variables in coin prices based on quality of the coin. The published price list are good for a quick reference. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 11:13 am IF you use the Red Book for pricing, just take whatever is shown and subtract by about 20% to 25% since that is how much over those prices are.

When a problem free coin comes up for sale at the price it should be then it will appear to be overpriced by this method of determining value. I am paying more than four times the average auction value of an 1868 quarter. Why? All in the last five years sold at auction in this grade had details labels only one had a solid grade. That one sold for about four times the value of the average auction price realized for the others. With a mintage of 29,400 it is a very scarce coin to find in AU or better. The one I am buying, though the same grade as the problem free coin mentioned above, is a superior coin in regards to overall strike and eye appeal. It is essential that collectors learn about the series' they collect so they know what the true value of a quality coin is over the skewed averages in the price guides. Report this Post to the Staff
