Coin Price Sources?

19Lyds

Pardon the dumb question but I have relied on the PCGS Price Guide only to be amazed in both directions. Both up and down.

What would be a good source of current pricing trends on coins and proof sets? As an example, I recently sold a 2001 proof set to a local dealer and was expecting about $15 net as PCGS has it listed for $30 in average condition. I received much more than $15. I did some after the fact research and was amazed to see these sets going for better than a $100 on the market. Had I known that, I would have kept it.

Is there anything produced on a regular basis that gives current pricing trends?

Would this be Coin World?

The sources mentioned are both good for individual coin values too. In addition, sign-up at Heritage Rare Coins and you'll have access to their auction archives where they maintain a database of hundreds of thousands of auction lots that they've sold. They may not have proof sets though, I've never looked for them.
