I don't think that anyone uses Red Book values for anything.


I've used the Red Book since 1971.

In my collection spreadsheet that is just the best example of everything I have, I have the following columns:

1) Red Book
2) Blue Book
3) Numismedia
4) Average

For individual higher end collections/sets, I have the following:

1) PCGS
2) NGC
3) Numismedia
4) Average

Each way of looking at it serves a different purpose, so it's nice to have all of that info there. My spreadsheets are extremely detailed, but they're the cumulative work of about 8 years of serious effort. I update the prices at the end of each year around December/January.

In part, it's so if something happens to me, my wife would have a better shot at getting the most out of everything.

When I'm doing an "appraisal", I will consult the Graysheet, ebay sold listings and one "retail" site ... gives the market variations definition for the owner.
