I agree with ya John, a 100%. And it's true because a sizable percentage of dealers are knowledgeable buyers, they know the real world value of...
When it comes to what the real world value of a coin is - it doesn't belong in it at all, because the two things nothing to do with each other....
I can't speak for others but I have never claimed that realized auction prices were a panacea, I think panacea is a bit too strong of a word. But...
Over 2,000 years ago. Even that long ago they had accurate methods for testing the purity of gold. In about 30 seconds they could tell if gold was...
