Message:: [QUOTE="Amanda Varner, post: 1861511, member: 59002"]So, I have been waiting patiently for 4 different people to actually take a look  at the Morgan Dollar Chart, and as someone else mentioned above I think I'm gong to change the terms in general, though I haven't decided upon what that's going to be yet, and added an additional term between "better" and "scarce". Once we come to a reasonable consensus here at the shop (after all, if you ask 100 numismatists there may be some variance in opinion between coins that are "slightly better" or "better", it is all rather subjective), I'm going to see if I can't do some number crunching off the combined Charts and see if any sort of pattern emerges.  I'm hoping that I'll find something like "in general, better coins are valued approximately 25% over common coins" or some such.  I have no idea if this will actually be the case or not, but I would really like to be able to define some of these terms a little more clearly. So, speaking of, right now I have common --> slightly better --> better --> "uncommon" (added as a placeholder for Morgans, I don't like it but wanted to get the chart to my slow coworkers as soon as possible) --> scarce --> rare.   I do like the idea of perhaps using "scarce" as the highest tier with "rare" possibly being reserved for things priced around $100k or thereabouts.  What says CoinTalk? What should my 6 term scale look like?[/QUOTE]
