Would it make sense to create a thread to help PCGS in their pricing of various slabbed coins?

Maybe PCGS can give out awards for the best pricing information?

Maybe I can get an award (lets say 1000 free submissions&#128516 for suggesting this idea????????

No.

PCGS has their own scheme and any variation could cost folks to think they are losing money.

For most material, auction results are the best guide.

For areas in which the Price Guide seems off, I believe emailing Jaime Hernandez, PCGS Price Guide Editor, can be helpful.
You need to send lots of helpful information along, as I did for the 31-S Merc a couple of years ago.

I reached out to PCGS a couple of times and my messages were not addressed...then months later after creating a thread
and emailing again they made the Price Guide adjustments that were needed. I never did get a reply
or simple thank you though. I wasn't looking for anything but a simple acknowledgement would have been nice.

The 1931-D Mercury Dime needs serious attention right now. I will email Jaime.
PCGS can start by dropping the MS67FB 31-D price by 42.5% to reflect auction results. The thing has tanked over the last couple of years.

These are popular semi-keys and I am a little surprised that the price guide has not been in line with auction results.
But I think a lot of this is done manually so based on that things slip through the cracks. Maintaining something like this
can be a ton of work.

I believe there are some dealers here that contribute to a price guide meeting???

There are a lot of coins that have tanked over the last several years especially when it comes to the price guide and what they are actually selling for at this time.

I am curious what everyone thinks. What percentage of collectors do you think participate in the auctions? I would say it is probably around 25%...especially on series like Merc's and Morgans as mentioned. My feelings are many of the auction results are more on a wholesale level than retail Heck I buy coins all the time at auction and turn around and sell them for a pprofit.
