<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2111519, member: 71723&quot;]Vic,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d be disappointed in your inconsistency if you did agree with me. We also agree that the pace at which counterfeits are improving is worrying to the point it could conceivably destroy the whole deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;What you&#039;re missing here&quot; is that the market is as thin as any get, and maybe also that NGC just upped the chart price from $450 to $750 a couple of months ago. I don&#039;t put much stock in auction prices in that thin a market. Why not? Because I got mine for $20 on an Internet auction held by a mega dealer, presumably because I was the only one who knew what I was looking at, including that megadealer whose name starts with the name of a metallic element and ends with a unit of municipal government spelled with the ostentatious trailing &quot;e&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and really? We&#039;re going to trust what PCGS says about NGC coins? A little like asking an guy&#039;s ex-girlfriend about him. Yeah, you&#039;ll get inside info, but it will be biased. Hint: my bias is I don&#039;t like PCGS even a little bit, and won&#039;t deal with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, I am not a trend follower. If something&#039;s extremely popular, I stay away from it like it was a plague. If &quot;no one&quot; wants it, I&#039;m on it like the white on rice. Example: I haven&#039;t looked at a Morgan dollar in almost 2 decades. So while people were falling all over themselves buying silver and gold like crazy in 2011, I was selling heavily. Fighting trends and looking intellectually for the &quot;next thing&quot; is the answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
