My comments were not intended to apply to a series like seated coinage. I'm not sure how many type set collectors opt for "key" dates and it...
People care creatures of habit. In another topic, someone brought up the 1950-D Jefferson nickel which is practically as common as dirt but it...
I agree that type collecting will increase at the expense of set collecting. It enables a collector to buy a wider variety of more interesting...

Correct. And to be clear, I was not trying to "knock" the '55 DDO cent in my last two posts or singling out this opinion. It's an opinion I hold...
I am betting against the US economy, in the sense that most people will be better off in the future. Its my opinion but an easily supportable...
Partly, it depends upon what your definition of "high grade" means. If it's the low number of highest grades, it's a complete guess to predict...
The 1955 DDO cent is actually very common for its current price and certainly not rare except under the most liberal definition. My understanding...
2C, 3CN and 3CS are near the bottom of the preference scale today, exactly where they have been since I started collecting in 1975 and to my...
Proportionately yes, but in absolute numbers, no. There are many individual date/MM combinations (primarily from US coinage but also world coins)...
I don't buy or submit any US coins but my understanding from the NGC and PCGS forums plus the market price is that PCGS is considered stricter or...
Same thing has happened to me. A few years ago, I bought two Peru 1756 one real in the same week, one NGC MS-61 and the other either an AU-58 or...
You are looking in the wrong place. The combined count in NGC and PCGS is 845 with an unknown number of duplicates but no (US) coin in its price...
Your question is unrelated to this topic. I do not know where you live but I certainly would not have bought a Belgium coin (especially ungraded)...
My recollection is that the more common dates (1806 and 1807) can be bought in Fine for under $500, though maybe they lack "originality" and don't...
The market value and collector preference are the primary factors in the completion and accuracy of the population reports. As an example on the...
What coins do you have in mind? The answer will vary greatly depending upon the answer. For example US versus any other country and the market...
I don't see that the embargo has or had anything to do with the market value. Your assumption seems to be that there is a large proportional...
No. The non-traditional coins for the RCM is known are gimmicks and there are too many of them. I also believe that the large number of...
No. Since the mintages were so much larger combined, there are a lot more of them, but disproportionately not in any quality which anyone...
