<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1080549, member: 3726"]I did not compare coins. I did not use PL or DMPL coins. I only did heritage and ebay. I did not look at coins prices only. Found 24 coins sold on ebay - what is that for the last month? Not sure. So I only used 24 coins off of heritage. I tossed the high and low. I did not compare shipping(could be free on ebay, but no on HA) - average for ebay 140.39, for heritage 137.03. I did the numbers including the 2 tossed - so see the attached. If you go to the archives on heritage you can see on this coin it was the toning, but the same could possible be said for those on ebay. I also included the heritage 65* coins - I don't think there was one on ebay in the 24(I could be wrong).</p><p><br /></p><p>So what does this tell us?
