Have I got this straight ?

I see the price guide changing daily, now. Not that it didn't do this before, but it seems a more refined tuning is taking place even as we read.

I've sorted through many coins I had hoped to submit one day, the prices drop further and further on many.
Would this suggest that it is not frugal to submit coins going through a downward trend even if they have a shot at 65+ ?

Thoughts ? Is the downward trend a sign of a flooded market ? A drop due to buyer's unwillingness to pay strong prices ? Pop reports ? What is the cause of all this "shake-up" ?

There does seem to be alot more green and red now that the WS has started.

I think we are on a course correction right now but I still don't understand how or why grading company would tighten up in a bad market or loosen up in a good market?
I would also like to hear some official explanation of how the PCGS price guide works. Where are they pulling the data, that determines a certain value of a coin?

I think this is about "the Game".

Don't worry the price will allways be going up on what you looking for, and down on what you have.

Actually, coins are a game, but it is more about which coins to submit. Some of the coins I have to submit have seen a significant increase in price. I have at least a hundred 2003 D Sacagaweas not even opened yet. Of the five I sent in, two came back MS67.... I think I may have another thirty or so that will easily make 67....

No, this is not about the game, this is about getting a feel for what one might submit in a market that is fluctuating , of late

Laura states that she considers Moderns to be POST 55.... Well then, it's the classics I have that are dropping and the moderns are increasing by the price guide.... so I submit to you, this is not about the game. It is about finding out from savvy people where we are heading in the market with coins .

Incidentally, I am in 336th place out of 336 collectors. Nah, I suck at games... I like real life much better !

ooops, make that 338th

I wasn't referring to THAT game. I'm referring to the PCGS contest that started March 1st.

It's just part of the WS hype--foolish IMO!

Wouldn't it be better to send them in when the values are down considering the cost of certifying and postal insurance would be cheaper?
