    Price guide books

    I am about to catalogue my collection (using excel) and looking back on old threads it was suggested that its a good idea to list the "book" value. I have the 2016 editions of Collectors Coins GB and also Coin Yearbook. I have stared to enter data for my farthings and note that some of the prices vary between both books, sometimes by quite a bit. My collection so far is low value common coins so not much of an issue really. I am just curious as to what others do regarding values, do you record them or not bother? As a side note I prefer the CCGB book and this post is not meant as a who is correct etc thanks Jon

    Price guide books

    Your method makes sense Declan given your business selling etc. I think for me I will go by ccgb as a guide price and use these for my record keeping. At the end of the day if I like a coin or want it to complete a run etc I will pay what I think it's worth to me. Btw the coins arrived today thank you. I am very pleased with them ?

    Price guide books

    The whole of my collection is only a tiny fraction of your collection of farthings !!!!!! As I have only just started (apart from some decimals sets from 10? years ago) it isn't too bad for me. I want to scan copies of invoices and photograph the coins I have (about 70) so that will take some doing but once I am on top of it it wont be too bad. (fingers crossed )

    That makes sense, choose a book from the start and stick by it. thanks for your reply Bob
