[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 7973362, member: 21705"]One of the least remembered things about his scale for value is multiplying the top half dozen specimens available by factors set out by ten rules. These go up to 4 times Basil Value times scale for a best known example in MS. The tenth rule is for averaging tie values. And it is specific to significantly undamaged coins which represent only about 10 percent or less of early copper. He was already noting that his scale, devised in the second quarter of the 20th century was already showing signs of inflating on the higher end faster than the lower end and this has continued on since then.
