Absolutely, Mic....just a question of how many traits I can add to a certain year and mintage and condition before the price gets TOO high. Still...
Leverage to the gold price, I would guess. Also, many (older) investors do not understand that they may be paying way more than the price of 1...
Couple of MS70PL's sold in the last day or so.....1 NGC and 1 PCGS for $3,600 and $4,242 respectively....then another PCGS for $3,725 earlier in...
So the bottom line on my actual Search....I did bring up the most recent auctions correctly for an 1879-S MS-67 CAC Morgan, right ?
Didn't think of that, thanks !
No, MD, what I meant by submittance bias was those with coins that are very nice and which ALREADY exhibit PL or DMPL qualities are the ones most...
Wow, that is low....any reason ? Did they change the coinage/mintage process that year ? Lower-quality silver ?
Noted ! :D Gotcha....to me, an 'investment coin' for a classic would be something that is <5%, maybe 10%, premium to spot gold. So for the 1924...
I don't know about that, SD, I think they are considered numismatics but it's a smaller base of collectors than that for Morgans since the entry...
1893 is interesting to me and others because it was the beginning of what would be the longest non-Depression economic downturn in our nation's...
Any reason the 1889 and 1893 Carson City's are tough to get in regular or DMPL ? Haven't gotten my book yet, I know most CC's weren't needed and...
Agreed...I just thought there'd be much less price variation, especially at a 'sophisticated' site like HA (say, compared to Ebay where I would...
True...it's just that I would expect this more at eBay where you have the masses participating rather than at HA which you go to pretty much...
Thanks for the info, SD...I'm just surprised because some of those MS-67 CAC 1879-S Morgan's had the same description as the coin I have but 1/2...
Santini, thanks for chiming in....I read the titles for the coins a few times because I know like Ebay sometimes a search engine will bring up...
You know, they gave us surcharges in the past when gasoline was $4/gal......now that it's under $2, it's unreal. Heck, even Post Office charged...
Can I ask a question about checking past auction results at HA (I just signed up earlier today):...
BB4, some of these guys that are high aren't individuals selling just 1 or 2 coins...they have big inventories and/or big eBay stores and/or big...
Can't speak for him, but I've had a few of the 2009 UHRs say they'd match or nearly-match the Ebay sales prices that saw activity if I went to...
Yup...and for a unique piece or something that doesn't sell that often (what we in the trade call 'illiquid' stuff) I get that. But these 2009...
