Just take a gander at the $50 or less thread. Being able to differentiate between the outliers and the sales that set a general trend for a market price.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is cleaned/counterfeit/has deceptively-hidden damage and it still sells for a lot of money, they can be ignored (unless of course it is a rare variety). If it sells for way below the going rate, it might have had problems, was listed at a bad time, or had bad pictures. Those data points should be ignored. So when I go to eBay to determine value, I look at the listings of problem-free (or “market-acceptable”) coins with good pictures and use the middle 50% of sale prices to detwrmine the “going rate” for a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
