<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 7806997, member: 24754&quot;]I&#039;ve spent many many hours doing exactly this. I&#039;ve catalogued every sale price that I&#039;ve been able to find on every denomination, condition, and time-plottable tendencies for each of the coin subjects that I want. I&#039;m a bit OCD about this kind of thing, and do not feel comfortable considering a purchase until convinced that I&#039;ve done everything possible to educate myself on value. This is actually something that I really enjoy about collecting in general. Sometimes I wonder if it is the collections that I actually enjoy, or if building the databases and analysis workbooks is the real pursuit! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I only purchase slabbed coins, therefore, Heritage sales constitute almost the entirety of the dataset. This is why I was initially surprised by the price differential based on venue of sale, because as you said, &quot;The coin remains the same&quot;. This lead me to believe that I was doing something wrong or mis-interpreting something.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;ve gathered from all the input, the consensus seems to be, &quot;If you buy it from there you pay one price, and if you buy it from there then you pay another price.&quot; Can&#039;t say that it makes total sense to me, but as they say, it is what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
