How do you guys accurately gauge the price for a note in a deflationary period like this? auctions? trade papers? which one? online websites/call & compare prices? __________________ VISIT OUR BOOTH:Jan, 30th & 31st westchester elks lodge Pm/coin show 8025 W. manchester ave, Playa del Rey www.victorybullion.com   03-13-2009, 09:36 AM   #2 (permalink) bhp3rd Die varieties, Gems     Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: "Way down younder in the land of cotton" Posts: 2,176 My Mood: It's a natural correction It's a natural correction. The small size stuff went a little too high the last 18 months for the number of people who are diehards. The nice stuff, the really nice stuff should hold up though without to much trouble over time. Trouble is the nice stuff is this toughest to get at a bargain. The correction should be only in the 20% maybe 25% range which sounds like a lot but many bargains will arise from it. Be selective! __________________ Benjamin, H.

It seemed very counter intuitive to me, but the way the author explained it... seemed rather plausible. I think the article or comment was in the Numismatic News. I could be wrong, but i think Mr Harper said it. __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.
