Where? Maybe a NGC graded Franklin in 2006 sold for more dollars than the same grade from PCGS in 2003! Do you know how to compare 'real' dollars adjusted after a given time period. That is what we call, inflation.

I would agree but Franklins haven't gone up like that---Franklins have stayed the same for sometime....and if you look at some coins you will see the price for 2003-2006 dropping....not going up...so I don't htink its inflation...I thought about that.

After reading some of your comments, it occured to me that you may not understand statistical analysis or what is the differance between mean, mode and delta values.
|
Yes I do understand them....in fact I have been going back over them some to make sure I do....

"That was most likely a true Franklin collector." Funny...I didn't remember reading the auction listings where NGC slabbed Franklins were only sold to "true" Franklin collectors. When I read a statement like that?
|
My statement is still true....it was more than likely a person who wasn't buying the holder but the coin and knew that NGC was better....a true Franklin Half collector would know that.

I never been to a coin show in KY, but I have to believe that The Palm Beach Show and the F.U.N. Show in Florida have just a tad more dealers/collectors/quantity/quality of coins over what you may see in the blue grass state.
|
True---we have about 50 so odd dealers at the show I go to...but bigger isn't always better.

You are absolutely right...all of these people buy holders down at the these shows. The auction houses like Heritage that sell MILLIONs of dollars in rare coins in Florida all have stupid buyers as well.
|
They sell coins to millions of Investers and dealers that are looking at the slab.....they aren't stupid but they just haven't learned.....

I guess we need to upgrade our numismatic education level to the great state of KY.

It would help that hobby that is for sure....in my many trips I have gone to coin shops when I can....or at least read their adds around there....for the most part dealers in KY are selling the coin where as others tend to be more hyping up teh slab.....I'm sure that we have people like that here in KY too.....but it sure it great to grow up in a place where holders are sold just as they are....a holder.
