PCGS Price guide

I went to look at the price guide for some of the moderns and none of them have anything on them.

Are they being updated or something?

  • I believe so...
    They have been getting so many complaints about inaccuracy they must be now taking the time to update them.

    Kudos!

  • I think so. They've been screwy all week.
  • Hopefully they are being updated because they are almost always wrong.

    How much credibility do people general assign to this price guide? I ask because I routinely see PCGS slabs sell on Ebay for prices that are as much as 50% off from their posted values in this guide, which seems odd if it truly is "updated daily."

    Also, for the past five months, a 1914-D Saint in MS63 (a coin I own) has been listed at $700, while the 1914-S, (a coin with a much higher mintage and twice the population in MS63 as the D) is listed at $775. Does anyone know of other long-running inconsistancies like this in PCGS's value guide?

    Not trying to offend anyone - just curious -

    I think of them as being ballpark retail prices.
  • I went looking for clad Roosie prices yesterday and came up blank. I think updates are in progress.

    Artist,

    50% off??? You're looking at the wrong auctions. I regularly buy PCGS slabs for 90% or more off the prices quoted in the guide. Price guides are worthless.

    Maybe the PCGS one but not others.
