The NGC US Coin Price Guide serves as a valuable resource for numismatists, offering average dealer retail prices for NGC-certified coins. These prices are derived from a comprehensive analysis of actual, documented transactions and data reported by collectors, dealers, and auction houses. It’s important to understand that the price listed represents the average dealer retail price, excluding sales tax, for a coin in a standard NGC holder with a standard label. Prices for coins in special holders, labels, or with specific designations are generally not reflected unless explicitly stated.
It’s crucial to recognize that retail prices for collectible coins can fluctuate considerably among dealers. This variation is influenced by several dynamic factors, including short-term market trends, the coin’s visual appeal, how frequently it’s traded, unique characteristics, market availability, collector demand, and the current spot prices of precious metals. Furthermore, the NGC US Coin Price Guide is updated periodically, meaning it may not always reflect the very latest short-term pricing shifts. These rapid price changes are common in the collectible coin market, especially for rare coins, where fewer transactions occur and sale prices can vary more widely.
Therefore, the prices presented in the NGC Price Guide should be considered as one of several indicators for determining coin values for both buyers and sellers. This guide is intended to be a helpful measure, but it should not replace thorough due diligence and, when necessary, consultation with expert appraisers before engaging in any coin transaction.
