righteouslearnin New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/09/2019 07:01 am I bought the red "bible" as per the advice of the gentleman that running the local coin shop. Ive found that the prices listed in the book are not the same as PCGS website. How do I know how much what I have is worth? Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8939 Posts	Posted 09/09/2019 07:25 am The Red Book is a decent outline for retail pricing of raw coins. Though it isn't nearly as accurate with the cheaper, under $5, stuff. PCGS is using slabbed coins, which are often more liquid. For raw coins I tend to use the grey sheet, which has accurate to the minute pricing for all coins. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/09/2019 09:29 am Red Book is good for coin info,not values. TPG's pricing is always a bit high. For realistic prices check ebay sold values and http://www.numismedia.com/rarecoinprices/fmv.shtml John1 Report this Post to the Staff

CitationSquirrel Pillar of the Community United States 1026 Posts	Posted 09/09/2019 09:55 am Your RedBook is good for general pricing information (in addition to all the other information). It will tell you if one coin is more valuable than another. For actual pricing information I use Greysheets and ebay sold listings. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 4:40 pm It vastly depends on how common your material is and how liquid. RedBook is typically 12-18 months out of date (the 2020 book went to press in 1Q2019 and has been for sale since the end of 2Q2019)... And at best the prices are high (full) retail. PCGS' site (and NGS' also) are for their own plastic and IMNSHO they are a little proud of their plastic. Since any fool can purchase the greysheet, the game becomes dealers paying less than greysheet to buy so they can sell at greysheet and still make money. This peaked just before the new owners took over and raised the price of the greysheet and did away with the single-copy sales. But you can still get your hands on a current or month-old copy without much work... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
