<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3866461, member: 112&quot;]Well, I&#039;m gonna make a double post here because it&#039;s specific to this. As you&#039;ll see, and see clearly, the coins are definitely not tied to the PMs.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/us-coin-market-stagnant.349811/page-5#post-3866428" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/us-coin-market-stagnant.349811/page-5#post-3866428">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/us-coin-market-stagnant.349811/page-5#post-3866428</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose everybody has their opinions of what might be better, or worse, when it comes to composing indexes for the purpose of tracking markets. But I do agree with one thing, there&#039;s always a balance that has to be found if you wish your index to reflect accuracy for tracking a given target, while at the same time eliminating other outside influences such as those you mention - bullion vs numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, to see whether or not these PCGS indexes do their jobs, all ya gotta do is look at the charts involved over the same time period. So let&#039;s look at silver dollars vs silver.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/mpeace10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/coin-index/morgan-and-peace-dollar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/coin-index/morgan-and-peace-dollar" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/prices/coin-index/morgan-and-peace-dollar</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.kitco.com/LFgif/ag3650nyb.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/ag3650nyb.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/ag3650nyb.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/ag3650nyb.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And generic gold coins vs gold.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/gengold10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/coin-index/generic-gold-coin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/prices/coin-index/generic-gold-coin" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/prices/coin-index/generic-gold-coin</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.kitco.com/LFgif/au3650nyb.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/au3650nyb.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/au3650nyb.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/au3650nyb.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t about you, or anybody else, but the obvious disparity between those charts clearly indicates to me that the coin indexes are doing a great job of tracking the value trend while at the same time eliminating outside influences such as bullion prices. And that tells me that the components of the indexes are exactly what they should be in order to do the job they were designed to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - well, same kind of date thing is happening with the PCGS charts again. Use the links to see charts ending in Oct &#039;19.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
