Coin valuations/pricing

Good point. So I looked up their population report, which I'm not experienced with yet, but here it is:
https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1972-s-1-silver/7411
But I don't see history, just current.

And what the heck is this?
AUCTION RECORD: $5,750 • MS67 • 09-21-2005 • Heritage Auctions
Click on that link and you get the auction result. The PCGS price is $35 but someone paid $5750? What am I missing!?
Oh, wait, it says "Double Struck in Collar, Close Overlap"
So they are paying for an error coin.

I guess the one I'm considering for $25.99 is a good deal. MS67

 

Errors are not comparable in anyway
