The Liquidity factor is a measurement developed by J. T. Stanton, president of PCI Grading Company to indicate how quickly or how easily a coin or variety should sell at auction, given normal market conditions. Using a scale of 1 to 5, a Liquidity factor of 1 would indicate that the coin would not normally sell very easily or fast, and usually at a discount from suggested values. A Liquidity factor of 5 would be expected to sell right away, and generally command full or inflated suggested values. Hot or highly active market conditions would usually inflate the Liquidity of any coin, with a cold market causing the opposite.

Famous quotes containing the word factor:
“Children of the middle years do not do their learning unaffected by attendant feelings of interest, boredom, success, failure, chagrin, joy, humiliation, pleasure, distress and delight. They are whole children responding in a total way, and what they feel is a constant factor that can be constructive or destructive in any learning situation.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
