Thinking of subscribing to bluesheet. I have lots of questions so would appreciate if someone can enlighten me.

I have been looking at predecimals - florins - slabbed ones mostly. trout mentioned that blue sheet would not be a bad thing to have. Looking at this

http://www.bluesheet.com.au/Subscribe/

and this

http://www.bluesheet.com.au/Subscribe/Bronze/

What's the difference between green sheet values and blue sheet values? :scratch_one-s_head: Is population count that important?

The description for each level suggests that beginners would find silver level more suitable.

Read on a different thread that there is yearly subscription available? OK it aint free but $40-50/yr is not too outrageous? if it saved you overpaying once or twice it would pay for itself right?

Would be nice to see a screenshot for one coin and not committing to subscription blind.

let me put it this way, you can spend hours after hours trawling auction sites and filling your head with a vast amount of pricing information that will be totally useless should you drop out of the habit for a month or to. or you can pay less than the price of a ms 65 1960 every year to have access to this information potentially saving you more than you paid without as much leg work and giving you the confidence to bid on alternative sites such as ebay
you choice really

Greensheet is for unslabbed coins whereas Bluesheet is for slabbed coin prices...  

What I also find is bit of google research wont go to waste.. that would give you a clear idea of what the market value of a coin  is....
Collecting coins is not about having the best, but loving what you have ...

Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

I would recommend Blue Sheet. I use it because my main interest is in PCGS-graded coins. But bear in mind the market is always changing - right now prices seem to have come off a little, except for the highest graded stuff.

The silver subscription also gives access to grading photos and the photo library (numerous photos of each coin, useful for understanding strike characteristics of different years).

(forgot to include this in the table)

i call that copyright violation!

Considering that the violation starts off by specifying that its from the Blue Sheet I think most would think it is great advertising for the service.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, all publicity is good as long as they spell your name right etc etc.

I quote bluesheet valuations all the time.
I don't consider that a copyright breach at all.
After all , I have paid for the information and I will use it as I see fit :ok:
as the information is pretty much live and accurate I see NO problem letting people know the current market values.
Aim well to enjoy life. You only get One shot at it.
