[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3839628, member: 76086"]Sadly this wont give you any good data as grading is enormously subjective. Other terms might include but may not give you what you want, "slabbed', 'NGC', 'PCGS', 'ex', 'collection', etc. I'm not sure this field will capture provenance as it depends on context as to what is in the description. Well, actually this is a huge factor in some respect. Lesser houses or dealers will not get the high prices that small dealers like me would. I might be able to get $40 for a coin, but CNG might get $500. Yes, that is an extreme example, but it does matter and happens. The smaller the dealer typically the smaller the price, but not always. Its so subjective.... This is very accurate. Prices can be entirely dependent on time of year. October to March typically sees much higher prices than the rest of the year. It is a very big factor. I know math is very fun for some, but ancient coins probably have too many variables to make it work.[/QUOTE]
