Numismedia price guide

Mikey

I've used their price guide to determine FMV for coins and their guide is no longer free. Does anyone have an opinion if this is worth the money, or should I just use the Coin Dealer Newsletter?

Use Heritage, they have multiple price guides. Numismedia guide is marginal IMO.

Personally, I find their prices on the high retail side- if you know the market use the CDN. If you want retail prices, get Coinworld- more realistic.

I noticed this last night.Looking for prices on a MS Buffalo said I need to `join and pay`?
Atleast the G-AU prices are still available for free.

NumisMedia has a nice service, but not so nice that I'll pay for it. Their prices are rather high, and if I want rather high prices I'll just use the pcgs.com price guide. For more realistic prices, the Heritage guide (and to a lesser extent, Teletrade's) is useful.

pay? awe man, I go would go there whenever I needed a quick price. Considering they dont have many prices for high grade rooseys there, no need for me to pay. It was nice as a free service though. They should of just added ads

I got a feeling they will be "belly up" soon. If you want to see it for FREE, sign in with USER: morgan, PASSWORD: morgan between now and midnight next Friday, January 31st. Eventually, all the price guides might charge IF they were accurate and maintained on a weekly basis.

I thought numismedia was already in financial trouble?

Catch22

I've yet to find a reliable price guide for rare coins. Actually trying to buy the coins I'm looking for and missing out, in some cases by shockingly large dollar amounts, has proven to be the most useful price guide I have found.

I've paid huge premiums for some coins according to the price guides, but still feel fortunate in almost every case.

I suppose researching Heritage's auction archives and using at least 2 or 3 of the other price guides gives me as good an indication of current value as anything.
