<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1231181, member: 112&quot;]As I said, pop reports can be misleading. So can mintage numbers. If you want to know what&#039;s really going on with coins you have to read the books, and all of the books, not just some of them. That&#039;s because different authors often arrive at contradictory conclusions. So it takes some effort to separate the wheat fronm the chaff.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the very best tools there is to help you do that is the market - consistent realized prices for a given coin in a given grade over a protracted period of time. If a certain coin of a given date/mint consistently sells for more than a comparable coin of a different mint, same date then it is because the more expensive coin is harder to find in that grade even though mintage numbers and pop reports may lead you to think otherwise. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now this is not true every single time, there are anomalies due to changes in popularity and short term prices, but it is true most of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
