Has anyone ever gotten an "ASK" status when using the Heritage my collection feature. Jus

I use the Heritage, -My Collection- feature. It allows for a great method of keeping track of one's collection, including value quotes from the Heritage Index. I just added a 1939 Merc in PCGS-68. The screen asked for all the usual info, such as the cert.#, price paid, storage place, description, etc. So, after adding all the info, I clicked on -add- and it forwarded the coin to my Merc collection. After refreshing the screen, instead of a Heritage index value for the coin, I got a big -ASK- in that column. The demand wantlist column says 31. I guess 31 people who are members in the Heritage site, want this coin. This is interesting. Does this mean that Heritage pulls the values directly from the Blue sheet, or trends? Who knows? I thought is was interesting since the blue sheet only goes up to 67. They may not have enough pricing data for a 68, but if thats true, how will they price a 68 when they get one for someone on their wantlist. Has anyone else experienced this?

Brian,

You can click on the image of the book. If any coins were sold you will get the auction results. I think they build their own history, but on the super high grades, they don't have a standard price in the guild.
