MajorPatW Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 4:01 pm So looking at the PCGS website, they don't seem to offer prices for stuff below MS60. Indicating to me, based on the MS60 prices, that stuff below that ain't worth much. However as I search various coin websites, there are some PCGS AU coins that seems to command a premium price. So,,, I gues the PCGS matrices are just a guide and one never knows what an auction may bring or a buyer may pay? :) Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 7:01 pm Yes, they are just a guide. There are a lot of rare coins with extremely low grades that command a high premium (such as the 1909-S VDB, or the 1914-D) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

MajorPatW Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 11:13 am I keep hearing about "The Grey Sheet". Is that a dealers only resource? Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 1:34 pm The Grey Sheet is available to anyone willing to pay for a subscription. The Grey Sheet is a primary resource for many dealers to set prices for heir coin sales - and you can use it for the same purpose for purchasing your coins. The Grey Sheet has 2 prices for each listing; 'Bid' and 'Ask' Bid is the wholesale price a dealer would generally sell a coin to another dealer. If you were to approach a dealer to purchase your coins he/she will generally offer '10 back of Bid', with is 90% of the Bid price. This leave him/her with room to flip the coin to another dealer if desired. Ask is the retail price for a coin. It's what you would generally pay to purchase a coin from a dealer. Of course - all of this is general pricing guideline and other factors such as strike, eye appeal, toning etc come into play that can't be reflected in a price guide. That said - knowing the Grey Sheet Bid/Ask for any coin you are interested at least keeps you in the ballpark.
