I believe that a lot of the discussion/debate has to do with how I've named the ratio formula "relative rarity", and how that name/term is being...
I don't see fixed scales or established systems as immutable or perfect. They falter and change, just as how government laws change and are...
^ That is, absolutely rare with a low conditional rarity close to or equal to 0, if the Van Gogh painting is always available but too cost...
Both, for a sufficiently wealthy buyer.
Yes, that's absolute rarity. But how about relative rarity? I argue that demand is required in its formulation. Relative rarity also determines...
I suppose that would depend on how "relative rarity" is defined. As you know, I take it to mean the supply available for a given population of...
To clarify further on this relative rarity point that I was getting at, the caveat is that it's a relative rarity for a given condition, among...
Yes, my question and proposal was referring directly to a relative rarity scale. Though, the Judd scale may be far more refined and accepted than...
But isn't relative rarity a function of demand? Hence, the inclusion of demand into the static supply based mintage figure to define rarity.
But isn't that scale only for categorizing mintage figures? So, if I made a 1 oz silver bullion round in my garage and struck a limited edition of...
At first, I may have easily resorted to looking at the absolute mintage figures (assuming that they are accurate, e.g. not melted down, not...
Ok I see - I thought you stumbled across an unavoidable strategy or other lol. But yes, I generally agree with you on the concept of focusing on...
I mentioned previously that I wouldn't collect these at all. That said, if they were competitively priced with regular slabs (i.e. same price),...
What made you make that massive change over to gold? I'm generally a silver type collector and I'm always refining my collecting...
I feel as if a lot of it has to do with, given the era, the quality and substance of the packaging. That Louisiana Purchase gold dollar is...
Well we know that GSA Morgans are good as-is, and the Brown Ikes have a similar look to them, which hasn't been repeated by the US Mint in their...
On eBay, for first class packages, I pay $2.45 for the first 3 ounces, and $2.60 for packages weighing 4-8 ounces. That could be an eBay discount...
I think that GSA Morgans are an exception. PCGS even slabs those slabs!
Maybe the shipping weight was just over the limit? But, that doesn't seem to make sense for what was being shipped... everything that's three...
There's a FedEx service option called "SmartPost", in which FedEx does the bulk of shipping (transportation), and FedEx delivers it to the local...
Separate names with a comma.
