Dip In Capped Bust Quarter Prices

PCGS price guide's notoriously inflated

It would be nice if:
-- you would tell us the grade you're talking about
-- you would tell us if your coin was slabbed
-- you would tell us if the Browning Number was included

$465 for a VF coin is too much but for an AU coin it's a great deal.

It seams like the NGC price guides have peaks and valleys on Bust coins in certain grades, especially in mid grades. I like following auction results to see the actual sale prices. I have definitely over paid for some coins. But, I think that is part of the learning process. I have also passed on coins that I would have really enjoyed. As I mentioned in another thread on Bust Dollars, I have had the philosophy "there is always another coin" to justify passing on a deal. But, I am finding out the hard way that there are very few nice early Bust coins (1/2 Dimes, Dimes, Quarters, Halves, Dollars) without issues. In the end, a coin's value is only what a COLLECTOR (not a dealer) would pay you for your particular coin, especially if it has that special something (eye appeal).
