hi Robbie , please tell , how do you get the price of a coin from that link please??? I have tried and tried but cant find anything showing prices ..   ,, kel ,,

[robbiegal]

hi Kel
no that link just took me to photos of coins (florins) of the same or better grades - whereas the listed coin i.e. florin has a photo of a peony instead.  when I clicked the values link I only got photos of florins

but  PCGS do have values for American coins on the home page but I can't find any for the Australian coins

this will help with coin values

but remember it is just a guide. compliment these values with your own research!!!

[keldaw]

thanks serial , very handy indeed ..    ,, kel ,,

[oh my florin]

I think those would be based more on American sales of the coins rather than the Australian sales (correct me if I am wrong) so it would be subject to at least a bit of American speculation. But interesting none the less.

You would be right omflorin and all values should be used as indicators with your own reaserch to give you the final value. However it does give you accurate details on mintages, size, weight, metal content sect so it is a handy tool
Just don't forget that values are based on NGC gradings, the difference between ms60 and ms64 can be huge. Some coin values are theoretical as they do not have a graded population
And don't forget variants!

[oh my florin]

Yeah I agree as is the price difference between PCGS graded coins and NGC graded coins too

Many of the valuations in the NGC guide for world coins were only recently updated for the first time in 20 years, until recently many high grade rare coins were still at valuations that made them worth the same as common date bullion. Also many are still hopelessly wrong (who would sell a MS63 1930 penny for only $125,000 or the proof for $450,000?)
So if they lost or damaged a rare coin they would pay out based on their valuation.

PCGS and NGC are not true professional operations in my opinion.
Because they are not answerable or accountable to anyone.

Grading standards have varied over the years.
And blunders are not uncommon.
Take a look at this beauty.
PCGS have had it as a warranty submission for over 7 months.
No response.
What are they waiting for ?
Professionals ?
Yeah right.

Now this is just plain stupid :dash1:
Both slabs even have the same coin number despite the obvious difference in size

[stevo1962]

And they obviously cant be the same weight either so 1 of
them is an error and maybe more collectible because of it

Maybe it is a shrunken head variety from Papua :laugh2:
It is however bloody annoying as it is one of my tiny number of PR70 graded coins :dash1:
