I think you are off base. The central banks of the world are flooding the world with trillions in new currency. This has never happened before...
I think the top TPGs are reasonably reliable in their grading considering the inherent subjectivity involved in the process. However, just as 94%...
I would like to see the coinage return to the traditional liberty images instead of making every coin a commemorative.
I just buy it, log it into excel, put the paperwork in a binder, and decide whether it goes into the safe or safe deposit box.
