Poll Question
What's your opinion re calculating mid-grade values...?

Kind of depends on the coin. Some have a dramatic jump in price between AU and MS which tends towards the second choice while others are more linear going from EF through AU and MS60 to MS62 & MS63 which tends towards the first choice.

It's not an opinion,it's a fact that the second choice more accurately predicts mid-grade values than the first choice.
The third choice is actually the correct choice,the formula,which is quite complex, has been posted on this forum before,I can't seem to find it though.
As a rule of thumb the second choice,works well,and has been in use for many years.

Eye appeal, remaining lustre and nature of wear (location) probably affect the price more than anything else...

If this was some math problem, not dealing with the fluctuations in coin grading and eye appeal, I would call a AU-55 $166. There are 3 other grades between MS60 and AU50. AU-53, AU-55, AU-58. Take the difference of 200 and 100 and divide it among the 3, and there ya go. Quote:

Should follow an exponential curve, not a straight line interpolation, therefore $133.

In my opinion it would seem most logical that the grade / values would be as follows:
- $100 -- $125 -- $150 --- $175 --- $200
AU-50 - AU-53 - AU-55 - AU-58 - MS-60

Trend prices on the vast majority of coins increase exponentially as they go up in grade. Thus the midway point between two grades is actually closer in price to the lower grade than the higher grade. I voted for $133.

Based on eye appeal, I prefer a typical AU-58 to a typical MS-60. Don't a lot of MS-60 coins look hideous? I have never understood why grades such as MS-50 aren't allowed.

I think the value is relied to his availability. Like if you take a certain coin graded AU50 with a POP of let'say 300 and valued to 100$, then the MS60 at 200$ with a POP of 100. And you have an AU55 with a POP 250, I don't think it should a value of 200$ but closer to 130$.
