I have been looking at several different sites online, including the one you have there, and they all have different prices.
Anyone know who sets the standerd when it comes to coins prices?

The buyer.

The buyer.

That's correct!

The buyer because, buyers drive the price either up or down based on demand of any given coin/s at any given time. This is effected by many different factors including, the economy, interest rates, gold & silver prices, the stock market, interest in coins by the population at the time, supply of coins, etc. etc. etc.

Common coins (i.e.) common dates, mints, etc. almost never jump in leaps and bounds as do the rare date & mint coins, key dates, etc.

If you want to be a coin collector, put your money in the keys, and tough date/mint coins (otherwise) you're just throwing your money away basically.

Example,

when you go to a coin shop and buy 10 mercury dimes at $1 each, and do it 10 times a year, you've spent $100 in that year-- now go back and re-sell to the coin shop - they will give you fifty cents each (if you're lucky) and you have now lost $50 in a yr.

Buy a "Key date" 1916-d Mercury dime at $450 today and take it back a yr later, you'll get your money back + some, hold it for 5 yrs, and you'll more than likely 2xs your money or maybe more!

It's always nice to hear from another who understands the coin market.

Well done indeed!

i had went looking for sites that had coin values because nobody ever seems to post any est. value of there finds, and i would like to get an idea of what items or coins to look for.
i don't know, is it a taboo to post approx. values ?, or is it perhaps just too subjective of a topic, especially when condition or gradeing comes into play ?. does anybody have any other sites they use to check the value of their finds .

as for prices on roman coins i found a couple of sites...
