<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2686593, member: 112&quot;]First of all I didn&#039;t make any &quot;blanket statements&quot;. In my first post in this thread I said - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is a generalized statement. The coin market &quot;as a whole&quot; does not mean every single coin in existence. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Talking through my hat huh ? You might want to look at the part I underlined in my quote above. </p><p><br /></p><p>You listed 2 coins as being the ones you&#039;re looking for, 1851 &amp; 1852 SLH. Both of which are the lowest mintage examples of their type. By definition that makes them both an anomaly. Which I covered in that underlined portion of my statement above. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding grade the only thing you specified was - not in higher grades. Now I don&#039;t know what exactly you consider higher grades, so I started with VF35 and went down. The last recorded sales on Heritage for both the &#039;51 and &#039;52 in VF35 occurred in 2008 which was the market peaked. There was 1 for the &#039;51 and 1 for the &#039;52 in 2008, and 1 in 2003 which was lower than the sale in &#039;08 of course. In VF 30 there are none for the &#039;52 and 1 for the &#039;51 which was in 1995. IN VF 25 there are none. In VF20 there is 1 for the &#039;51 in 2013 and 1 for the &#039;52 in 2015. In F15 there is 1 &#039;51 in 2012 and none for the &#039;52. There are no recorded sales for either coin in F12. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t know how much lower you want to go in grade, but those records clearly indicate that there has not been more 1 sale for either coin (with that 1 exception) in any of those grades in almost 20 years. Point being there&#039;s no way to say prices have been going up or down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar results appear in grades higher than VF35, or where there have been multiple sales the realized prices have been going down. And if you want to talk about the &#039;51 and &#039;52 O mint coins, those have been going down on price in virtually all grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;ll repeat, talking through my hat ????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
