<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Liang, post: 2025121, member: 72833&quot;]I bought a few 2005 silver eagle PCGS MS 70 regular strike since 2013 for my small personal collection hoping their prices will rise given the small pop.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the price of this variety 9975 (regular strike) has seen a sharp decline in all major auction sites during the past few months, from about $800 to $300.</p><p>I believe it is a result of misunderstanding from the PCGS pop report.</p><p><br /></p><p>pcgs.com/cert/28440623 (as an example) shows that the pop of this variety 9975 has a latest pop of 240 (as of 11/22/2014) which is still much smaller than that of the first strike variety 89975 which stands at 423 (as of 11/22/2014).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you check the pop report:</p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail.aspx?c=939" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail.aspx?c=939" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail.aspx?c=939</a></p><p>It shows that &quot;2005 silver eagle PCGS MS70&quot; has a pop of &quot;1243&quot;, which is the total of ALL varieties, including 240 for &quot;Base&quot; (regular strike, variety 9975), 423 for &quot;First Strike&quot; (variety 89975) and 580 for &quot;First Strike Mercanti Signature&quot; (variety 519351). </p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you check the PCGS CoinFacts website, variety 89975 shows a pop of 423 (for this particuar variety only) but variety 9975 (regular strike) shows &quot;1243&quot; (which is for all 2005 varieties).</p><p><br /></p><p>This is absolutely an inaccurate and unfair display information for the regular strike. </p><p>Collectors and dealers are most likely thinking that &quot;1243&quot; is the total for variety 9975 regular strike while in fact it is only &quot;240&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suggest all owners of this variety to ask PCGS to correct this so that the value of our coins can return to its reasonable market values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
