A price guide, Red Book, or a YouTube video gave you a number. A numismatist gave you a lower one. Why the difference? Information online is almost always the highest possible estimate based on condition, rarity, and outstanding unique aspects of a coin. Those prices may reflect an authenticated error coin, highest asking prices for graded coins, or an extremely rare key date for that coin type.  Why does a coin dealer’s appraisal differ from the coin’s internet value?
