Is there a popular common coin who's price is indicitive of the overall market?

The 1950-d jefferson nickel comes to mind. This is a common coin but it is th elowest mintage in the series. A year ago it was trading for around 50 bucks on ms-65. Now it is down to about 15-20.
Are there any coins out there that really are good tools to measure the rest of the market?

So your indicator suggests that the overall market is down somewhere between 60-70%? I think you might need a new indicator.

In light of this, I would say common date St. Gaudens MS63 is a good indicator.

Hahaha! I guess that is why I am posting on here!
I wasn't REALLY using it as an indicator I guess. I just noticed how much it fluctuated so I wanted to pose the question about what coin IS a good indicator.
