fair retail price?

we just picked up a 1953 PCGS PR66CAM Frankie, nice white coin, i need help as to what would be a good retail price to sell at the shop? the pcgs price guide lists it a $725. this is usually a little high, so i was wondering if anyone could help me with a better pricing idea? thanks in advance!

    auction results on Ebay didn't yield much. the closest is that there was a '53 PCGS PF65CAM that ended on Nov-19th without a bid, the asking price was $299

    The last six examples sold by Heritage (all in 2006) went for:

    $402.50 (NGC)
    $345 (PCGS)
    $379.50 (PCGS)
    $402.50 (PCGS)
    $373.75 (PCGS)
    $373.75 (NGC)
    When in doubt, don't.

    Only displays results, though, if you are a logged-in registered user.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I would imagine that you know what you paid for it, therefore, you should likely know its fair market value.
