On another matter - the charts themselves. I've been posting and or linking to the PCGS index charts for as long as I have been a member of this...
And I never said the hobby IS dying, didn't even imply such a thing ! The OP was asking why coin prices had been adjusted downwards. My response...
But even that has fallen to levels not seen since early 2006. And it's still dropping.
No, I didn't read it, nor do I need to read it. And I say that because I've been writing about the same thing for years, many years. And for many...

OK, but what's to say the structure of the silver cannot be further altered by the deoxidation effect of the plasma ? After all, additional...
Well, I'll change my mind. Those pics clearly show that the coin has been damaged (the dents on both obv and rev) and thus it has no grade at all....
All mylar flips have sharp edges, which is exactly why dealers don't use them. Almost all dealers use the soft flips, the ones that contain PVC,...
You'd be amazed at how many people do not see it that way ! To my way of thinking, if a coin is worthy of being in your collection then it is...
Myalr flips also have their own problems. The edges of them are so sharp that they can scratch coins when you put them into or take them out of...
Do a forum search using - coin storage - as the key words and put my user name in the posted by box, then click on search. That will bring up a...
