[QUOTE="giorgio11, post: 1615333, member: 17094"]Thanks for a great and thorough report, Tom. Couple of observations: 1. Your observation that it is as important to avoid buying the wrong coin as it is to buy the right coin is one of the most astute I have ever seen on these boards or elsewhere. 2. I too have heard dealers, especially Seated Liberty specialists, comment that the smaller half dimes and dimes just are not doing well nowadays. I think this may go along with the general graying of the numismatic demographic. Let's face it, a lot of us have eyes that are less capable than when we were youngsters, so we like larger coins whose finer points we can have a better shot of appreciating (or not) before we trot out our trusty loupes. 3. Overall it sounds like the market is pretty healthy, and I can't but think the shift in focus away from the PMs is a good thing for dealers of quality coinage. Thanks again for your thoughts. Best Regards, :hail: George[/QUOTE]
