<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2466313, member: 71723&quot;]My experience in my local area has &quot;proven&quot; (in quotes because I still believe it even if no one else agrees) to me that there are far more collectable and straight-gradable coins being held long-term &quot;off the market&quot; than there are in the known market. This is why I put zero stock in PCGS and NGC pop. reports. Not only do I <b><i>not</i></b> believe that &quot;most coins worthy of slabbing already have been&quot;, I don&#039;t think the currently slabbed market makes up more than a relatively tiny sliver of the full market of collectable and gradable coins. Why? Because I can go to an auction nearly every weekend within 30 miles of my home and see dozens if not hundreds of them with no problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, is my area unusual? Probably. Is it unique? I hardly think so. I think it&#039;s pretty typical for the east coast especially the remaining rural parts thereof. We&#039;re talking homes well over 100 years old, frequently with stashes well hidden during times of economic turmoil.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
