I really think that applying beta coefficient to this conversation will do more to confuse it than clarify it. However, comparing the beta of...
I voted and I hope we both win!
Okay, I will agree to disagree. PCGS OGH's have that reputation of being graded more conservatively. And even though this coin has a Gold CAC...
But that is the point. If nobody can tell the difference, how would you ever be in a position to find out that the coin is only worth $200. I...
The chart does disprove what you are saying. You don't seem to understand what happened in the 80's. Prior to 1986, the grading of coins was...
I was advocating that conditional rarities often times deserve what appears at first glance to be ridiculous price tags. This includes modern...
Like $500-$600
I am not sure I understand. What is the want ad for?
Dion, Regarding your question, I think pictures are worth a 1,000 words. Here are photos of an MS65 1939 Doubled Monticello Jefferson Nickel...
Oh smack! If we were voting, that coin would get my vote. I assume that incredibly attractive coin is an MPL?
I was a teenager in the 80's and my coin collection consisted of circulated Mercury Dimes. What I do know is that the crash of 1989 had nothing...
It seems pretty obvious that he is one of the modern coin searchers that Doug referred to in his post. In addition, the NGC MS67 FS coin would...
I feel like I have had this discussion with you before. You say that the difference between MS67 and MS68 is almost indiscernable but I bet you...
Hold on to your hats folks and listen up. Doug is 100% correct on this one. It is not age that prevents the existence of MS68+ business strikes....
The Doubled Eye Variety is a 1943-P, this coin is a 1943-S and it is considered a minor variety even though it is pretty cool.
I don't see gradeflation creating new top pops for any series. ASE's are actually found in MS69 & MS70 grades. Jefferson Nickels are not.
If the photos didn't make the coin appear to be AT, my guess is that it would have sold for at least 10X bid. The coin has a very similar look to...
Uh, no it isn't!
I think you are missing Doug's point entirely. He is simply stating that the concept of conditional rarities is not new. It has always been...
I don't actively collect modern Jeffersons so no I don't own one. My registry collection is for 1938-1964. However, you are going to be waiting...
Separate names with a comma.
