Price Guides And Coin Values
The values listed in this price guide might not be what your coin will sale for, but is only an indicator of what the larger dealers and auction houses have sold the coin for recently. Remember a price guide, is just a guide, and there are times when the coin will sale for less and sometimes for more, it depends on the current market and how much a collector desires the coin in question.
Also, these values do not reflect what a dealer will pay for the coin. Often dealers pay 50% and below the book value for common dates, and sometimes less. However, a key date often brings more, but it depends on the dealer's needs at the time. In example, if a dealer has an overstock of 1928-P Peace Dollars then will try to buy the coin low, but if the same dealer needs 1928-P Peace Dollars for their customers they might buy higher.
It's best to purchases a Blue Book or CDN Greysheet, because they offer a more realistic price figure for US Coins, and check the adds in coin publications where dealers offer a list of what they are paying for coins.
Some other facts to remember before determining the value of a coin:
- A coin's age does not determine its value.
- The value of a coin is determined by it's rarity (often this defined by a lower mintage, but not always).
- An increase in the grade of a coin signifies an increase in its value, and sometimes dramatically.
- Any surface damage-PVC, scratches, dipped coins, cleaned coins, coins with substances on them, will always decrease the value of the coin.
