If you created an annual book on coins, then what would you include if not rarity and price ? You'd lose tons of interest except for the...
Can you be more specific on "hype and promotion" -- people do want to sell these coins and most U.S. dealers do U.S. coins. I saw plenty of...
Panzer, I think I misquoted your post when I responded, although my basic premise remains.....so you are comparing that HRE coin to the 1932...
Agreed...and the SS Central America thing is a unique anomaly, IMO. You basically had a super-rare coin (the 1857-S) suddenly get hundreds of Gem...
But Panzer, I think you have to focus not only on the SUPPLY part of the market. You also have to focus on DEMAND. That coin you cited is from a...
Getting back to the OP......as I posted elsewhere, I am seeing weakness on high-end 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens. If you check out the NGC...
At first I thought it was a whale eating something ! :D
I don't have a problem with this statement Tough....but you are focused solely on the SUPPLY part of the equation and not on the DEMAND. There...

Got it....and confirmed by the Price Grid in the book, which has only MS60 and MS65 in the 1970's and then adds MS60, 63, and 65 right at 1985....
I wanted a thread to discuss anything about price trends or specific pricing things you find interesting going back years or decades. Here's...
I'm reading alot about minor die varieties in my Saints book. If die varities are created by the normal wear-and-tear of a die, is it really...
You look at the 1976-2015 Burdette/HA price guestimates....you look at a chart of the PCGS 3000.....you look at a chart of gold or silver.....it's...
Dealers ? I'm curious to those of you who had businesses.....how much (overhead) would you save monthly if you eliminated a small storefront and...
Excellent points. Spot on.....and the fact that gold couldn't really be bought until 1975 had to freeze/impact the numismatic prices even if you...
The Real Important Question....What are we both doing up at 3:22 AM posting ? :D:D
Agreed, it was just a nice inclusion to have a chart for every single coin in this book going back that far. Remember what you had in Aker's or...
