In my post exchanges with cladking here, I was focusing on our differences but there are areas of common agreement between us. In the past, I...
I am not saying there aren't any. What I am telling you is that most countries have no tradition of collecting which is why both moderns and...
And your claims are exactly what?
Totally and completely wrong. In our prior exchange here, I specifically addressed this subject. Let me repeat myself now. In a financial...
Your claim is no different than the purported recent estimate that up to 50 million collected State Quarters. If you told me one billion would...
You cannot demonstrate your "natural" theory. Where is your evidence (not your personal opinion) for it and how does it apply to moderns? And...
I am immune to logic? You actually think I fail to grasp your claims? I understand them completely. I reject them because there is no basis...
I don't believe the prices are as off as you imply. In the example that you gave, you need to look at actual sales. Heritage records two sales...
The only reason I almost totally disagree with you is because your premises do not remotely reflect how collectors actually act. Collectors do...
I agree with your first paragraph. As to the second, it just depends upon the coin and since you appear primarily to be referring to US coins, I...
Considering our prior post exchanges, it should be obvious to you that your post is a mischaracterization of my comments. What I am telling you...
What you stating is not opinion, it is a fact and exceptions though maybe numerous do not disprove it. The Red Book and Blue Book are annual...
Dealers don't set the market price. So no, these prices are not accurate and are irrelevant. The exception might be low priced coins and if this...
You should think carefully about your change in direction because "unnecessary" selling is expensive and will eat up a lot of your collection...
The best sources of data I consider eBay, Heritage and maybe Great Collections. These three seem to be representative of the collector population...
No, I wasn't referring to you. Perhaps I misunderstood your post. I was referring to someone I understood you knew.
I like all of the coins but can see that the first one might have been cleaned. I don't see anything in the image though that should have...
My "holy grails" (and I don't have one) in US coinage are from a relatively low population I cannot afford, mostly those I call "ultra elite". Of...
Same here except that I would exclude "investors" or hoarders. Medoraman mentioned someone he knows who owns thousands of graded Morgans. This...
Your standards of significance are similar to mine. I find that US collectors generally have very low standards.
