Key points that i learned from studing the price pattern is as follows:

1. Never clean your coin! PCGS and NGC likes natural coins, some of these coins are toned quite significantly but yet given a superb gradings. Once cleaned, you will only get UNC details which worth significantly lesser.
2. The denote + sign from PCGS also translate into more higher price for that particular coin.
3. From MS 64 to MS 65 grades, the price is almost double for the 1 grade higher coin.
4. The overdate coins rarely given a numerical MS grading. they usually get the details grading. Hence the 1929/1 is a rare coins.
