<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3543152, member: 26302&quot;]My take on your data [USER=99239]@Suarez[/USER] would involve a sea change in the hobby the last 10 years and wonder if this accounts for your data. Every serious collector I know tells me buying good material at shows is becoming nearly impossible. They say NYINC has fewer and fewer coins every year because everything is going on the auctions nowadays. Numerically, one would believe that the best coins were always there, so this would suppose much more middle range material is moving onto the auctions versus bourse, deflating overall hammer averages.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I know is an average RR silver used to be $50-75 and today is $125-150. I think picking 10 coins in a certain grade and using them as benchmarks would be more telling than large averages, something like if Justinian solidi, VF Caesar elephant, etc to represent middle market pricing. I know I wish I could go back 10 years and buy at those prices, and could pick out a TON of coin price increases to back up my assertion it is not going down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, anyone accidentally get too old in CNG archives and drool over what you could have bought stuff for back then? I have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
