<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1473998, member: 112&quot;]First of all it&#039;s not simple to improve it, it is extremely difficult. The reason they are all so inaccurate is because of the sources they use to establish the prices.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, it does. But most people don&#039;t even notice that.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, simple - because it helps them make money. That and that alone is the primary reason that price guides even exist. Also, it costs a great deal of money to build a price guide with any degree of accuracy. They would rather do what they do than spend that money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, let me point out another issue. You pick a coin like a &#039;41-S Walker in MS65. Actual realized prices, within the same time period, vary within a range from $575 - $977. Or a &#039;27-D SLQ in MS65 FH, realized prices for that one vary from $1955 to $3737. </p><p><br /></p><p>What kind of price do you put in the price guide for those ? Answer - you can&#039;t. And the reason you can&#039;t is because the prices are 100% dependent upon the coin itself because every single coin there is, is unique. Almost all coins, even in the exact same grade - one can easily be worth double what the other is. And that is without any attractive toning to muddy the waters even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the biggest reasons <u>why</u> price guides are worthless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
