I think that for many coins if the choice is between MS-64 or MS-65 and an AU, the price differential is too great. So collectors move down to...
Good explanation, thanks. No I haven't....but the next time I goto a coin show or my LCS I am going to check out the same coins in AU58 vs....
Anybody got photos of 2 coins where 1 is an example of technical grading and 1 is of market grading ?
Thanks Rob....I'll have to read why the GSA found so many of some years and so few in others. Roy, good point about the TV coin guys. I've seen...
Results are TOTALLY non-comparable. Like comparing baseball stats today vs. 1880's. Or stock returns pre-Civil War. The 1970's saw the end of...
I think this is one of the reasons there are so many 'sliders' between the lower-end MS and high-end AU. I agree there are some coins that in...
Fair point, but I think if the photos are pretty good that most of the time there isn't much of a difference vs. examining it in person under...
They need to nap a bit more.....:D You are right, they are not quite like the super-expensive, nearly-impossible-to-get MSDs but they are clearly...
It's probably in an upcoming Morgan book I'll buy/read, but why did the Carson City Mint experience such big drops in the numbers above (down to...
Easy....the capital structures were not laden with debt. Plus, the CAPX that went into these lower-hanging fruit were much less (see my comment...
So many of these mines were uneconomical except under totally unrealistic assumptions. Some of the purchase prices were doublt, triple, or even...
Up to 1/4 oz. is OK, esp. if you aren't going to be buying again for a while and want to do something now. But the 1/10th oz. premiums can be 25%...
Am I correct that TECHNICAL GRADING is going by the book methodically....would be a tougher standard...but MARKET GRADING is taking into account...
I think I get it. It's a bit confusing, but I think you explained how the standards change once you go from UNC/MS to Circulated or About...
Done....thanks for the great information, that's why I joined this site.:D Question: Do you find better deals at big coin shows (i.e., FUN) or...
I'll keep an eye out for them and look for some MS-graded goodies and GSAs when I have some $$$, thanks !
Thanks.....I was too young at the time, but with silver probably $5 or less in the early-1970's, even $20 was probably considered steep by...
Still, their value -- even back then -- had to be much more than the 1884-CC's, right ?
Yes, GD....but I guess CACs own stated reason (on their web site and in interviews with John Albanese) is that so many coins got misgraded back...
Thanks GD....that's unreal, that you had 3 years with 1 coin only surviving. I'm surprised they released those years instead of auctioning them...
