I was talking to my dealer, he told me that McDonald had agreed to make the prices more realistic to market value, anyone else heard this?

The "Blue book" is really good for pre Decimals values as it is upgraded all the time but unfortunately it dosn't have the coverage of Maccas.
IMHO Maccas and rennics are outdated/obsolete as they are printed as far as pricing goes.
They do both give collators an indication of the rarety/woth of coins but the market IS fluid and they should be simply used as a guide.
Maccas would be a better guide between that and rennics simply because maccas covers more coins.
SO get your act together Walter and get rid of the "Coming soon" logo on the decimal coins section on blue sheet :good:

Will do :)

I find maccas quite good and will buy the next addition. I have found that in grades up to aUNC most dealers charge 50-75% of catalogue value. In higher grades prices seems to get closer to those in the book.

Got my retail flyer from greg today. Looks like a backflip on Perth Mint issues. Book now $39.95.

Will be interesting to see wholesale info when received.

hello - so is the new maccas going to be complete with the perth mint issues?
i had heard that he was going to do it year about due to the reatail not changing much or something

I noticed too a post about Walters 'blue book' - is that the electronic blue sheet? I thought that you had to subscribe to that and then it is all electronic? Am I right on that one? ta from rob

AaronG

Yes it is the electronic blue sheet, it is free but only for 1 grade, if you want to know the value if a coin in all different grades you must subscribe
