<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DANIEL HENRIQUEZ, post: 4938594, member: 76821&quot;]Despite the fact you and many others admire and even collect &quot;rainbow&quot; coins is commendable but, this doesn&#039;t mean they their value is increased by the &quot;rainbow&quot; in the least. Nearly all coin graders, dealers and collectors agree that although a &quot;rainbow&quot; coloring on a coin could possibly be attractive, is is NOT a characteristic that is used in Grading according to the Sheldon scale or otherwise. This discoloring is similar to the &quot;BLUING&quot; on gun steel whereas on some it brings out beauty and others its more contrasting than complimenting. This being said, a &quot;rainbow&quot; coloring is a natural chemical effect and NOT a factor that can be created or tracked since it occurs to a small percentage of coins and generally ONLY Silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>In regards to the examples of pricing you showed, NGC &amp; PCGS are the ONLY Graders and CAC is a Secondary Confirmation which is not required or needed as they merely agree or disagree with a coin&#039;s Grade which again is unnecessary. That said though, the values given by NGC &amp; PCGS are NOT perfect as they are derived from sales and NOT Grades &amp; Population reports meaning they are flawed and skewed according to what is popular at the time instead of rarity &amp; condition. To that end, I have seen the MAC system also and at least this utilizes &quot;populations&quot; as a factor yet, sales also assist in this evaluation too.</p><p><br /></p><p>In closing, I have collected for over 40 years and seen lots of changes, trends and so called &quot;coin experts&quot; promote or discredit coins for many different reasons, however, the one true system I have held true to regardless is Grading &amp; Populations as it pertains to rarity for valuing coins and personally believe this is the ONLY accurate way to do so without outside interference or bias. So, you and others can bash me, call names and state personal opinions to my expertise yet, I only use and abide by standards that were set years ago with honesty &amp; integrity and NO personal gain or conflict of interest. Agree or disagree. Good day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
