Anyone notice auction PRs not being added to PCGS CoinFacts for 6 months or more except for Ebay?
Anyone else notice that coin auction Prices Realized appear not to have been added to PCGS CoinFacts for many months ?
Wonder if it is just not a priority or if agreements with each company have run out or something else. Unless I missed it, I don't recall any announcements regarding this.

Legend stopped doing auctions in December 2023 and they appear to all be there.
Scotsman's last auction was in November 2023 and is listed.
Great Collections has not allowed auction PR's for CoinFacts since 2014.
Ebay appears to be the only prices still being added.

Interesting. I hadn't realized it was for all series. I had noticed for my primary series than many seemed to be missing, and it's sad as that feature was a good research tool

I wasn't aware of this issue either. I wonder if its the auction houses choice or PCGS. I feel that the most important way to value coins right now is auction results so without having any updated tool for us to use is a shame.
I suspect it’s just another ball dropped by PCGS.

I've noticed this too when I've tried to research prices. It seems like the most recent auction PCGS lists is January 2024, Heritage's winter FUN auction.
Disappointing if this their next cost cutting move.

We are aware of the delay in updating the past auction records.
We have been working closely with the auction companies to reestablish the data after security changes.
We anticipate the missing APRs will be added over the next few weeks.
Well, it certainly helps the dealers looking to flip a coin, and let’s all try to remember what the P in PCGS stands for.

Thank you for the response!!
I think for many of us it is a useful to find prices realized, which are an important part of price discovery.
