What do you mean, "straight-graded" examples ? You mean graded by a TPG ? I think it's just that supply fluctuates, though I believe that the...
Saw an old article that said even Peace Dollars got bought up in the Coin Bubble of 1988-89.....they fell 70-80% in the next 4 years. You guys...

I guess the feeling is that if we were designing a brand-new grading system TODAY....we'd have a discussion if the tiniest amount of wear on the...
I tend to agree with that, MD....I believe the problem has been that you can have a coin that was absolutely uncirculated and grades Mint State...
But I think comparing an "A" vs. a "B" might have led to a premium for the "A"....but not as much as now when that "A" coin has a CAC sticker....
I also think some well-known numismatic researchers ran afoul, too.
CAC is a unique situation where you really aren't comparing apples-to-apples (straight TPG grade for each), IMO. But I see your point and you're...
Civil disagreement should be OK, but yeah...don't trash your hosts. I could see where they might not like that.
I haven't seen it yet in the 2 series that I follow closely -- Saints and Morgans -- but that could be a function of weak overall prices. Saints...
1,000,000% agree !! I learn SO MUCH on CT from reading from you veterans. I don't dislike someone going against my POV, it's how I learn. This...
Fair point....but at the same time, going back to that Franklin thread...no reason to strongly but politely inquire as to what they were thinking...
I wasn't familiar with that situation....in fact, I just occasionally scan posts there, I am NOT a member or poster. :D But I understand how a...
Is that really something coin collectors are demanding though ? Yes, we know that for some coins an AU58 is better looking and nicer (and less...
Really interesting....let me think about this before I commit.....good questions !!
:D:D:D:D Wait a second...you're not saying that circulated (AU) coins are now going to be graded "higher" with an MS designation and that...
You mean coins that slide from AU to MS or vice-versa ?
I take it that graders are aware of key "inflection points" where price/value increases a ton, right ? If you are off by 1 (even 2 !) grades on a...
Thanks, I found it too, ddddd. Instead of banning posters upset that PCGS looks bad, it would be better for PCGS to EXPLAIN some of those...
It would be fascinating to see the % of coins submitted that get CAC now vs. years ago....plus to hear from the TPGs about how many re-submissions...
