Best Lists For 'Current' Retail $ Prices For 'All' Modern US Varieties

There isn't a one-stop-shop for almost any type of collecting hobby. It may be that it's simply too much information to put into an easily searchable form. Of all the error/variety coin websites, I use my Heritage account most often to find the data I need as they have a price history that goes back several years and they have wonderful images.

They offer a free account so, if you can keep your finger off of the BID NOW button, it's a great no-cost tool.

90% of my collection accumulated over the last 15 years is classified as varieties. This is what I'll be bringing to any show.

Internet connections are notoriously unreliable and slow just when you need some information quickly. This can be the case especially at smaller trade shows that do not have adequate symmetrical (upload and download) bandwidth availability or reliable setups (signal repeaters, routers etc.) for multiple simultaneous connections.

I should've been more specific but I was hoping to find some sort of printed material that I could quickly grab the US variety prices for all years when needed. Is there some sort of 'paper' publication that I could purchase with pricing for these varieties?

I agree that the price you get is ideally based upon what the most recent sales are. However, a type of backup hand held printed list of prices would at least give me something to personally refer to or show to a prospective buyer quickly etc.

This may be an impossible request but one will never know for sure unless the question is asked.

My personal proposed MO:

Now I'm searching for URLs containing the most exact matching TPG/grade, variety #, sales price and most recent sale date of any coin or currency I wish to sell. This should be a great tool to have available at a fast moving trade show.

Well in advance of any tradeshow I will have secured the most appropriate URL. Then also I will have inputted it into a non-PDF 'interactive' Excel sheet to quickly bring up the price when needed.

This may seem like too much pre-show work to some folks for 100s of varietal coins. But thinking it through, a majority of buyers most likely would buy the coin from me since I would have done my homework in advance saving her/him a lot of undesirable research grunt work etc.

And if you think about it, many prospective buyers at tradeshows buy coins on impulse anyway with no preparatory pricing routine aside from carrying around a Greysheet that's hit or miss at best ref. varieties.

I have not tried this approach yet but I speculate that my sales close % for most hard-to-find coins should be a significantly higher number based upon a more efficient use of my time at trade shows while physically interacting with several prospects.
