Good morning all,

Hope you are all keeping well!

I was curious to see what sources you check when you are looking for information about coins, specifically around what the (estimated) current market price is and how to find historical data of sales.

For example, if I wanted to look for a 1937 Half crown, I can check the specs and some info on Numista (great site), though the average values depicted there seem to be quite off. Of course I do check listings on Ebay but this always seems like a wildcard to me, I've seen horrible looking half crowns posted for £40 and ones that look pristine for as little as £8 (not auctioned but buy now price). Not that I necessarily intend to buy on Ebay, but it doesn't really help giving me a proper indication either.

My question is, how / where do you check this information? I'm talking half crowns at the moment and there's quite some out there, but I'm struggling with some slightly more uncommon coins to find places with historical sale data for instance.

All your information is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Thank you! I did not see that appear in filters initially but I did manage to find it. That's already quite helpful, much appreciated.

Agree with you, Numista is a great site.  I will also have a look at allcoinsvalue.com to have a rough estimation of pricing, though not as accurate as spink book mentioned by other members.  Also, will refer to London Coins n DNW for latest trend in pricing.
