<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 4405441, member: 73489&quot;]I wanted a thread to discuss anything about price trends or specific pricing things you find interesting going back years or decades.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #0000ff">Here&#039;s mine: </span></b> I have noticed reading Burdette&#039;s Saint-Gaudens book that the 1976-2015 price charts for each coin often show a big 50-100% jump in price for coins in 1985 and 1986 for the MS65 level.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wondering if this price surge, dwarfing any bullion increase anywhere near the old 1979-80 highs, <b><span style="color: #000000">was dealers and others front-running the creation of PCGS and NGC (I presume it was known they&#039;d be coming) which would presumably generate more demand for gem quality coins.</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Any vets out there who can tell me why common and semi-rares would move so much in those 2 years ?</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
