<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 640909, member: 4920"]Well, if I might, I thought you were suggesting a premium designation by the TPGs and in the price guides <i>for MPLs</i>. I thought that's what you were driving at when you drew our attention to the fact that these mintages were relatively low...a public acceptance, if you will, that they should be premium priced, for that reason...which, I believe, doesn't necessarily follow from just the fact of their relatively low mintages. Witness the relatively low mintage proofs that command less than their corresponding business strikes. For business strikes compared against business strikes, witness the prices of the Jefferson Nickels, for one, which also don't correlate with their respective mintages. In short (and, I apologize if I mistook you), I thought you were hanging your hat on the relatively low mintages to justify a premium designation by the TPGs and in the price guides that we'd all, thereafter, be obliged to accept, of course. But, that's it. The remaining 99.99% of what you said on MPLs, I have no issue with. In fact, I think the percentage may be even higher than that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
