You mean forgiving or ignoring a small amount of rub on a single or multiple high-points, right ? Net-grading, right ? That's what Albanese was...
Doug, is 2004 when most people or experts like you NOTICED the change....because others also cited 2000 as a key turning point, maybe when it...
You think that's the case -- or maybe just with AU-58's ? I don't see too many overgraded or "pricey" AU-55's or AU-53's.
I guess it's because we think price and grade are linear....they aren't. But as long as 95% or 99% or 99.9% of collectors THINK and ACT that way,...
When I buy one for myself, I like to buy a "quality" bill. But if the low-to-mid 60's is too pricey, then I drop into the 50's.
Very astute observation. :cigar: I noticed that Greensheet article talking about in early-2021 how the Covid buyers were buying raw and...
Wow, I'm not surprised as imaging can look at a coin dozens or hundreds of times per second and analyze every nick and bag mark and measure their...
GD or anybody else, have you seen this interview with John Albanese ? Fascinating, IMO....
There's reference to a BOA report in recent days on gold...and also some accounting of long/short positions (derivatives ?) that "...the Fed knew...
Who are these gold bullion banks ?
I'll admit that settlements and custodial issues are NOT my strong point. What do YOU think this all means. Unless LBMA was short huge amounts...
I'm going to say lagged bigtime. There are simply more bills available for most series than was the case for coins. The latter had millions...
No, don't worry about that.:D But I think the price of valuable bills has nothing to do with the value of the dollar per se. We know that coins...
Is there a quick and fairly accurate place to get pricing or other information on bills, Steve ? Other than punching up recent sales, that is,...
I mentioned in another thread that I added another edition of a U.S. currency book with pricing. I realize the prices are just an approximation...
Mid-20's.
I'm in the same situation as you. I think the CURRENT book to buy is the one put out by the two Friedberg's, who have taken over from their...
This was the subject of a fascinating debate over on the PCGS Forums between some real heavy-hitters....ex-graders...bigtime collectors...etc.
What do these dunces say when they are proven wrong ? Do they finally realize that MAYBE spending a few hours a year on this stuff doesn't make...
Could see it this month.....:D
