Isn't that just a link farm website? It's only purpose seems to be to generate revenue from the ads. I could find no useful content.

I purchased a Red Book for US coin prices. On-line I tend to use:

but you need to remember US grading is different to UK and the rest of Europe plus I've heard the prices are slightly on the high (optimistic) side but it does give you a rough idea and is easy to search.

Huss,

It has been my experience that U.S. Dealers will buy at about 50-60% of Redbook, and sell at 80-90%. The exception is a rare coin, which will bring over Redbook price!

Bob,

From my limited experience when offering a US coin for sale and having been contacted by a dealer I would concur with your experience. I think the dealers work off a grey sheet(guide)? which is more for buying coins whole sale.

You are right about the grey sheets. I think they are published weekly (or monthly). They have the bid and ask price suggested for each U.S. Coin. They do not cover coins from other countries, however.

I like the concept of the bid and offer price, after all that's how equities, unit trusts etc. are traded. Perhaps we should move to a similar system, the only problem being that a 40% bid/offer spread doesn't look too enticing in the cold light of day!

Derek,

Here is a sample page of the "Grey Sheet" from the USA. I hope it came through ok, it is a .pdf file. You can get a current sample copy for $4.00 (can be downloaded also). BTW...the spread is generally 30%!

Maths (or math as you call it) was never my strong point.

Did you click on the link on the top right that takes you to the coin values table? Click it and a pop up window opens with links by denomination, to the tables.

Whether collecting rare U.S. coins is for hobby or investment, it is important to do thorough research about market trends & coin values. Today sophistication of internet e commerce allows for easy accumulation and trading of rare U.S. coins. Old coins from the United States invariably say United States of America on them, however sometimes United States are shortened to U.S. on very old coins. It is likely it is commemorative coin, instead of circulating coin, if you cannot name the old coin. Old coin values often subject to dispute.
