<p>[QUOTE="Jinkinz, post: 953185, member: 26693"]I definately understand. And when you look at past auctions for a coin in a certain grade, you see a wide range of prices. Some coins are just more desirable than others. And then there are things like coins in PCGS green holders going for premiums because they are likely undergraded, etc. But the market analysis is still likely worth something. </p><p> </p><p>I don't think the purpose of such a feature would ever be to tell someone what the value of their coin is...just to offer guidance. Besides, a screen scraper could download and save the picture of the auction piece so you can compare what the coin looks like with yours. Imagine logging in, viewing your coin inventory, click on one of your coins and optionally look at all the coins that have recently crossed the auction block to see how yours stacks up. You could display them all on the same page to make comparing them easy, then optionally click to view high-res images for more detail. Of course, it's no substitution for being able to examine it in person, but it would be pretty cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
