<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 990057, member: 112&quot;]But that is what I am saying - those huge price differences have existed as long as the grades have existed. People just didn&#039;t seem to notice them as much because for one thing the prices were not so high.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider for a minute, between 1998 and 2005 Kennedy halves increased in price 300%. Not just the high grade ones - they increased 300% across the board. So Kennedy half that you might remember costing $50 in 1997, by 2005 that same coin cost $150 or more. And it had absolutely nothing to do with the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many other coins between 2001 and 2008 increased in price by 400-500%. So those common nickels that used to cost $20 - in just 7 years they were over $100. And again, it had nothing to do with the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is part of the reason that people make these comments when they see these high grade coins selling for what seems like outrageous prices. It&#039;s because they remember what seemed like a reasonable price just a few years ago but then forget about much those prices shot up in just a short time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
