[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1048225, member: 21705"]Excellent post. Also remember that CQR and EAC members also classify coins' CONDITION as well as detail. The Choice, A(verage) +(plus), A(verage), A(verage) -(minus) and Scuzzy conditions account for the greatest measure of differences between EAC copper and Ebay copper for the most part. If you've actually seen the difference, it's quite remarkable. Great Ebay coins are usually between A and A- in condition with the largest bulk being various levels of scuzzy. Then the unusual market for the available coins can cause a small handful of buyers to move the market substantially and disappear in a nanosecond when those same buyers turn to sellers. Also, don't be confused by Average when discussing condition. It's NOT the condition of the average coin, but the average of the range of conditions which is heavily skewed toward low condition coins. The (typical) coin is scuzzy+ - not Average. An average condition coin might represent the top 5% of a typical sample. A choice coin may only represent the top 1% of a typical sample. This should really make things confusing.[/QUOTE]
