Jaelus, so you are talking about PF and DMPL and other coins like that early in a dies usage ?
I agree with your point but in this case the "inflation" at least has something visible. We can debate whether or not twin MSDs that are exactly...
Touche.....:D But seriously, you're not saying that we're going to keep seeing gradeflation ad infinitum are you ? Let me use the Saint Gaudens...
OK, so they're grading on a curve, so to speak. Ah, the curve...you never thought it would happen to you (fans of "The Wonder Years" TV show...
But toning is a unique thing -- and one I don't like -- that some people not only like but chase exclusively. So the TPGs are now incorporating...
I see your point here. Me personally....I don't like toned coins. To me, their blotches and blemishes. Maybe I'd like 1 or 2 rainbow toned...
I think the possibility exists in the SHORT-TERM but it can't continue indefinitely. If your scenario occurs, then in theory all MS-64's and...
In the extreme, without sales there's no business and with no business there's probably not a hobby (or at least one like today). In which case...
If you read the Sheldon Grading Scale, or maybe go to the PCGS and/or NGC websites for more detail (if they provide it), it's pretty well...
I'll do that.....I may actually try and free up some time and catalog exactly what years I have. Quite frankly, between following the financial...
That's a good point, I have NO IDEA what any of those quarters are worth. I must have a few hundred, and quite frankly, I don't have the time to...
I have a bunch of silver quarters -- you can feel the silvery powder or whatever they had on them -- and some half-dollars (mostly quarters). I...
Yeah, the most common years. If all you want to do is get the "66" on a label for a Morgan. Better to spend a few $$$ more and get a coin you...
For $40, I think you got a bargain. If the colors are as they appear in the picture, then it's not an MS coin and wouldn't be PL or blazing-white...
Not a photo expert by any stretch but I found this useful. (1) I have a table lamp with those pure-white thinner bulbs (any lamp will do if the...
I don't see the shine or luster, but maybe it's the way you took the photo/pics ? I don't see the blazing white or mirror look. I just bought an...
Good point with some DEEP thoughts. :D But a painting is an individual and unique undertaking...no 2 paintings, even by the same guy/gal, are...
But if they strictly go for revenue/$$$ maximization, they risk ruining their business in the long run as their business model -- grading coins --...
GD, I learned more from your post than in some books and entire threads I've read. Thanks a ton !! :cigar:
Probably the financial analyst in me !! :D
