I don't think I follow your argument. Don't you agree that a fall from $20 to $16/oz is twice as large as a fall from $40 to $36/oz?
I'm going to say that it's too soon to say that. Slabbed coins have only been around since the 1980s. They had a huge spike right before 1990, a...

You know, I think I'm going to start using a canned response for these: "Hey, what's the idea? Zoom in on the other side of the torch, and you...
I also see that someone bought a laughable 1914-D from him and didn't catch on before leaving feedback.
Hey, now that Ed's back in town, you might as well wait for the expert. :rolleyes:
Huh. Seven months seems like an odd duration for a forum vacation, and yet here we are.
