[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1283566, member: 26302"]I wasn't arguing that, I was arguing the chart from its inception has been distorted to make investors believe coins are just as valid an investment vehicle as stocks or bonds, hence the name to make it sound like the S&P or something. I was simply dispelling that notion, and the notion that by buying coins in an auction setting you can avoid dealer markup, another point people have brought up over the years. I was agreeing with you Doug, and simply expanding on the point. :) I agree the graph was showing a downward trend, but simply saying if you drill down into the details the actual return was worst than that. Btw Doug, just as an aside, I have seen VF and XF coins remain constant when MS66's fell many times, and not just associated with bullion. I remember in the late 80's/early 90's that was very common across the board with many series. Its not the point of this post, but those things can happen.[/QUOTE]
