The prices all over eBay are confusing or ambiguous so I was wondering if there were any sites for researching.

@Accfak You can use the Bay but your keyword search should be followed by selecting only the "sold" box. That shall ignore all the crazy ask pricing. Good luck

Depends how much you might wanna spend tbh.
Free:
PCGS, NGC, and CACG all offer online guides for pricing their own graded coins. Grain of salt required. Tend to run high compared to reality.
Under ~$10:
There are a few coin magazines available at book sellers like Barnes & Nobles, or through subscriptions, that contain retail coin pricing. Some have online price guides too. To be taken with a large grain of salt and often tend to list prices on the higher end of retail.
Over $10 and UP, UP, UP:
CDN price guides. These include the dealer’s “Greysheet,” which list dealers pricing. They also produce a retail coin price guide. Both are available digitally and/or a hard copy magazine through the mail. You can do subscriptions from them or single issues in just about any combination you might want. This is the pricier end of getting coin prices, but IMHO the most accurate. See: greysheet.com
Also, could get yourself a “Red Book.” This is the beginners’ guide to coin pricing and coin knowledge. Again, beginners. Some great introductory information if you’re a new collector. But, as published annually it can lag the trends. Tends to run on the high end of retail also. Lastly, data is somewhat limited by grades listed. Don’t expect too much specificity.
Honorable mentions:
Other free sources include using the auction history searches through GreatCollections.com and Heritage auctions (ha.com) websites.
Dishonorable mentions:
Lastly, and I mean lastly, You could use eBay sold item searches. _Note how I didn’t recommend eBay, just noted it. _ Prices realized on eBay are all over the place and for a great many coins/coin series there isn’t enough data to really establish a market price.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
