The Coin Guide doesn't list a price for Red-Brown, only Red. A 1939 65 Red is $25.

Many coin varieties are not included in the guide.
Large Cent Newcomb varieties for example.
The PCGS Price Guide is still one of the best.

YaHa

I don't know if this helps, Ngc price guide for 1939 R/B lincoln cent is $9.60 for MS 65 Pop/ only 3. Now the Proof 65 R/B is $92.50

PCGS price guide is a joke! Not sure who does it but I question how they research / compile data.

The PCGS price guide is one of those guides that sellers love to quote. But when you bring them a coin that you are selling they will go straight to the grey sheet.

That's the fact, Jack! It is very optimistic like Coin World. It would have to be a premo coin to sell for PCGS money.

So, you are saying that a retailer should pay full retail for his inventory?

Good point, I was going to also throw in that PCGS spends more time updating their price guide than most. While the prices are a bit higher than you can find stuff at auction like many of us here do, most collectors don't do auctions, they go to dealers. Dealers get many big items at auction because they don't just walk in off of the street like they used to. they have to mark this price up and in many cases it is similar to the PCGS price guide.

Not at all. I would also use the Sheet as a guide. But I would not quote from one price for you while I use another. And dont forget just using the Grey sheet is only a part of the story. Then most dealers will only buy at some value bellow Sheet (usually 20%) regardless of coin quality/grade. And couple this with the fact that the grade will always be graded conservative by at least one point (grade level) and usually Two.

the best price guide is by going to ended auctions on eBay.

We all know that a Dealers dont buy @ spot or list or bid or ask they will look it up and say this is what the price is and take off 5 to 10 and even up to 20 % and sell to you @ 10 or 20% over bid just so they can keep the lights on. I was just at a shop and he will buy silver @ 5 time face or A oz. @ 5.40 off spot price.

I assume that dealers are not able to buy popular key date coins at grey sheet or below. If so, how does this happen?

Is it as simple as:
A guy walks in off the street with a 16-D dime or 1877 IHC, knowing or possibly not knowing its full retail value. The dealer offers him a relatively low buying price and then sells it at full retail. In the year 2008, is this still happening?

Are any of you out there able to buy these prizes at well below PCGS Price Guide retail?
Is there a big secret that I am not aware of?
