<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 3907696, member: 43130&quot;]Actually, there is some truth to what Typecoin posted. I&#039;m not sure what algorithm PCGS Coinfacts uses, but if you look up say, 1806 XF40 Draped Bust Half Dollar, pointed 6, no stems, you see this:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1029974[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But when you go to Heritage (granted I didn&#039;t go to Stacks and Bowers or Legend), these are the most recent sales (leaving out a details coin and a few R.5s and even an R.6 that went for just $1600+ in Jan. 2019). I searched for Pointed 6, Stems on Heritage, and took out the ones without stems, because my wording added in some results that showed 1806&#039;s without stems varieties. All of the coins below are listed in CoinFacts, but there are some higher results from April 2018, further back than mine below, which sold in October 2018. Why? Because mine was a lowball for a PCGS certified example?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1029975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1029976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1029977[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my coin that I consigned to Heritage in October 2018, which still falls into the time frame of the PCGS Coinfacts listings, yet the low sales price isn&#039;t shown in the CoinFacts results. (Yes. I was bummed out as a seller. I got $945 from the sale, since I negotiated 105% of the hammer price, before their buyer fee). Why are there two April 2018 sales listed on CoinFacts for much higher than mine in 10/2018?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1029979[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I&#039;m not sure if the CoinFacts algorithm is set up to intentionally hide many of the low sales prices, or if it&#039;s totally random and sometimes that&#039;s the way the cards fall. There&#039;s no way to know unless you created it or maintain it, I suppose. But one thing that is absolutely true, is that CoinFacts mobile only shows a tiny part of the picture. And when you broaden your view you see some results that paint a clearer picture of the market, it ain&#039;t always so pretty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
