NM = Not meaningful due to changes of 500 percent or more.

Note: Average price is based on the free alongside ship (f.a.s) value, including value for shipments of specialty coal not used as a fuel source (about 0.05 percent of all

shipments). Steam coal includes bituminous, sub-bituminous, lignite, and anthracite. Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
