<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 116657, member: 2761&quot;]Where?&nbsp; Maybe a NGC graded Franklin in 2006 sold for more dollars than the same grade from PCGS in 2003!&nbsp; Do you know how to compare &#039;real&#039; dollars adjusted after a given time period.&nbsp; That is what we call, inflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>After reading some of your comments, it occured to me that you may not understand statistical analysis or what is the differance between mean, mode and delta values.&nbsp; I thought I outlined the values in a way so people with 5th grade education could easily understand.&nbsp; I also did not take into consideration that what used to be 5th grade requirements is now 10th grade levels in some states...so I apologize if these numbers are too difficult for you to grasp. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I also previously stated that you may have an exception (not the rule) here or there and surely a coin&#039;s value is worth more in 2006 than it was in 2004...all things being equal.&nbsp; Here&#039;s my favoarite line:&nbsp; &quot;That was most likely a true Franklin collector.&quot;&nbsp; Funny...I didn&#039;t remember reading the auction listings where NGC slabbed Franklins were only sold to &quot;true&quot; Franklin collectors.&nbsp; When I read a statement like that?&nbsp; I have to ask, what Kool-Aid are you drinking??</p><p><br /></p><p>I never been to a coin show in KY, but I have to believe that The Palm Beach Show and the F.U.N. Show in Florida have just a tad more dealers/collectors/quantity/quality of coins over what you may see in the blue grass state.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Florida United Numismatists is host of the <u>nation&#039;s</u> <u>largest</u> <u>coin</u> show, held annually at the beginning of January.&nbsp; Over <b>15,000&nbsp; </b>collectors and <b>400+ dealers </b>from around the U.S. and the world converge in Florida for the first show of every year.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are absolutely right...all of these people buy holders down at the these shows.&nbsp; The auction houses like Heritage that sell MILLIONs of dollars in rare coins in Florida all have stupid buyers as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess we need to upgrade our numismatic education level to the great state of KY.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
