I didn't realize that PCGS had a database of auction prices for world coins until recently. If you click on Auction Prices Realized at the bottom of their web pages, a list of US coins appears, but nothing for world coins. However, I've found that if you put in a cert. no. for at least some British coins under Cert Verification, then on the web page for that specific coin, there will be a link to auction prices for the issue. A couple of links I discovered are below. There are lots more. I've searched through the website and not found a systematic way to access auction prices realized by country and issue. Am I missing something? If you know a valid number for an issue, using cert verification is one way to access auction prices. Valid numbers can often be obtained from pictures in the registry. Sometimes a link for a specific country and issue can be obtained via Google too Cal Links: 2013 £20 silver coin: https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/details/2013-ms/522576 Crown, 1847 Esc-2571 Gothic UNDECIMO PR: https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/details/1847-esc-2571-gothic-undecimo-pr/389229
Looks as if you can just search for coins by issuer, denomination, & date in the search box on that page. Worked for me just now.
Yep, that works too, somewhat similar to a Google search. Still it's strange that PCGS doesn't have a systematic way of choosing country, type and date like they do for US coins. Or like they have for world coins in the registry. Could be the database isn't complete enough for that yet. Cal
That's certainly possible and may be part of the reasoning if not the main reason why. Unlike the US section many of the world coins that are in the population reports (especially the modern business strikes) would return 0 results for a sales history. They've been doing a lot of updates recently to the website and features so I would think that at some point we probably will see it looking more like the US side and they may already be working on it, but I would think that they have prioritized other things ahead of it at the moment.
