<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2425200, member: 78153&quot;]Your standards are yours.&nbsp; The TPG standards are equally as arbitrary because there are no absolute standards since quality is subjective.&nbsp; I use them because in the absence of an objective standard, its the &quot;best&quot; one available, as in most widely recognized.&nbsp; I am certainly not going to agree with you on your standards which you use to supposedly support your inflated opinions of both their scarcity and their merits.&nbsp; Like I told you once before, the idea that &quot;rarity&quot; has any meaning as used even by general US collecting practices (never mind your standards) is a farce.</p><p><br /></p><p>People do not &quot;hate&quot; moderns.&nbsp; Many collectors do not prefer or dislike them (I am indifferent).&nbsp; But then as I have told you, no one has to have the same preferences you do.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the price guides, they are only relevant for lower priced coins because there is no evidence that the prices for most entries are above a nominal value are anything other than &quot;made up&quot;.&nbsp; I have explained this to you numerous times, it is something totally obvious which anyone can verify for themselves independently yet you still bring this up over and over.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the price guides were higher, except at nominal prices which are financially irrelevant, it isn&#039;t going to make these (or any other) coins worth more.&nbsp; This should be obvious from Krause which we both discussed before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
