The coin market is volatile and thinly capitalized. Significant short-term price swings are always possible. Collectors Universe, its principals and representatives do not guarantee a profit nor guarantee against a loss for any coin you buy or sell based on the information contained on any Collectors Universe website. You buy and sell rare coins at your own risk.

The prices listed in the PCGS Price Guide are the average dealer asking prices for properly graded United States coins. The prices are compiled from various sources including dealer ads in trade papers, dealer fixed price lists, significant auctions, and activity at major coin shows. Prices for the most actively traded coins are updated daily. Other issues are updated as needed. All prices are reviewed at least once a month.

The price editor for the PCGS Price Guide is John Dannreuther. For the past 25 years, Mr. Dannreuther has been one of the major rare coin wholesalers in the United States. He is also one of the founders and owners of Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Mr. Dannreuther is considered one of the top rare coin experts of all-time.
