New features, including online
streaming video commentary from Collectors Universe President and Co-Founder David
Hall have been added to the Professional Coin Grading Service’s authoritative
Rare Coin Price Guide at www.PCGS.com/prices.
All of the information is available free to the public.
The price guide includes the PCGS3000™ Coin Market Summary that tracks the
values of over 3,000 different PCGS-certified coins in a wide range of grades.
The new Price Changes feature lets collectors and dealers track the top ten “gainers
and losers” for the previous day, as well as the previous two weeks, three
months and the past year. There also are market values for bullion coins, such
as American Eagles.
“I’ll be recording frequent commentaries about the numismatic market,
and these will be available around the clock on the home page of the PCGS Price
Guide,” said Hall who co-founded PCGS in 1986. “We’ve also added
an online database for the price history of significant coins sold at public auctions
since 1997.”
Another new feature links Price Guide pages to their counterparts on Collectors
Corner, PCGS’ secure, online coin marketplace. For example, if a user is looking
up prices for Morgan Dollars, they can then click a link at the top of the page
that will take them straight to the up-to-the-minute listing of Morgan Dollars
on Collectors Corner. Another link will take users directly to the PCGS Set RegistrySM.
The expanded PCGS Price Guide offers collectors, dealers and the genera public
an unprecedented amount of online information about current marketplace values.
“On any given day, there are more than 184,000 current prices listed in
the Price Guide, and the historical data base contains more than 6.4 million prices,”
said Ron Guth, President of PCGS. “We anticipate even greater use of the
Price Guide now that these new features and enhancements have been added.”
Professional Coin Grading Service is a division of Collectors Universe (NASDAQ:
CLCT). The PCGS Price Guide home page is www.PCGS.com/prices.
