<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2931192, member: 112&quot;]You obviously have a lot to learn yet.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh I agree with you completely that the dealers reporting their asking prices to PCGS are asking far more than the coins are really worth. But the PCGS price guide is based on those asking prices - which is why the price guide is worthless.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Specifically, which prices is it that you are referring to when you say that ? Here is the link on the PCGS web site that shows you actual realized prices <u>from all major auctions</u> - <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Pick any coin you want, look at the realized prices, and then compare them to the prices found in the PCGS price guide. In almost every single case you will find that the realized prices are lower, usually much lower, than the prices found in the PCGS price guide ! So rather obviously the prices found in the price guide are NOT based on realized auction prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I will repeat my question, specifically, which prices is it that you are referring to when you say that ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, specifically, dealer asking and selling prices are not factored into what exactly ?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you saying dealer asking prices are not factored into the PCGS price guide, think again because you are dead wrong. Click on this link - <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/prices/</a>&nbsp; - and scroll to the bottom of the page. When you do you will see that PCGS themselves state flat out that their price guide is based on dealer asking prices. Exactly as I quoted above -</p><p><i>&quot;The prices listed in the PCGS Price Guide are <b>average dealer asking prices</b> for PCGS-graded coins.&quot;</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
