[QUOTE="GregH, post: 2317379, member: 75936"]*sigh* It's hardly a ten minute automated task. A survey of the flea markets skews the results towards the more common coins. The auction houses that sell the most expensive coins are going to skew the results in the other direction. To get something more accurate, you have to combine the results of all the venues into one big database. The author Rasiel says it is the "biggest project" he's ever undertaken - consisting of "gathering the records, classifying and re-classifying them ten different ways, pruning out the bad stuff, good old fashioned manual data entry to get obscure datasets and on and on a tedious list of chores to arrive at a good distribution histogram capable of being tested against." All this, just so you can sit on your throne and call it BS. If you have a better solution, why don't you email your suggestions to Ras?[/QUOTE]
