<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 213498, member: 112&quot;]Dave I don&#039;t think you will be able to get the specific info you want. You might get lucky with a request made to PCGS but I doubt it. I think that graph is about as good as it is going to get. Unless of course you wanted to do all the research yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now as for the rest of your comments, I see you&#039;ve only been a member here since this year. But perhaps you have frequented other forums on a regular basis over the years. If you have, then you have undoubtedly seen literally thousands &amp; thousands of requests for information on the value of a collection. Often this request comes from a family member or loved one of a recently deceased collector. Often it&#039;s from the collector himself. But in almost every case, and I mean almost every one, the value of the collection in question is negligible. </p><p><br /></p><p>In all my years of doing this I have cataloged and evaluated several collections for people and of them only one really amounted to anything. And the easiest way for me to explain the scope of this collection would be to tell you that it was comprised of approximately 750 pounds of coins. My estimate for that collection, in total, was less than $80,000. The vast majority of it would be qualified as junk. But a man spent his lifetime assembling it</p><p><br /></p><p>My point in all this is that all of these collectors were just like us - they weren&#039;t any different. They tried their hardest to do what they thought was right, was wisest and was the most fun for them. They read the books, they went to coin shows, they bought the magazines. But they sure didn&#039;t get rich, nor did they do well with their collections as an investment. But they did have fun doing what they loved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
