<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3695120, member: 112&quot;]I assume this is the article to which you are referring ? </p><p><a href="https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/news/coin-market-at-a-glance" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/news/coin-market-at-a-glance" rel="nofollow">https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/news/coin-market-at-a-glance</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently he&#039;s a staff writer for Numismatic News - </p><p><a href="https://www.numismaticnews.net/author/richard-giedroyc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numismaticnews.net/author/richard-giedroyc" rel="nofollow">https://www.numismaticnews.net/author/richard-giedroyc</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But this Numismatic Stock Index, what he calls the NSI - that&#039;s something I&#039;ve never heard of. Not surprising really, as I haven&#039;t been involved with Wall Street for many years now. I could be wrong, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a regular &quot;Street&#039; index either. Based on a couple of the other articles he&#039;s written - </p><p><a href="http://pcgs.nelsonme.com/?cat=16811" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pcgs.nelsonme.com/?cat=16811" rel="nofollow">http://pcgs.nelsonme.com/?cat=16811</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://pcgs.nelsonme.com/?cat=19173" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pcgs.nelsonme.com/?cat=19173" rel="nofollow">http://pcgs.nelsonme.com/?cat=19173</a></p><p><br /></p><p>- and I&#039;m only guessing here, the NSI seems to be something he&#039;s come up with on his own. The NSI seems to be a basket of the stocks of various numismatic companies, he refers to a few of those companies in his articles. And it seems as if he&#039;s using this &quot;index&quot; to have something to write about, in a positive way. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can only assume that&#039;s because the coin market as a whole has been doing but going steadily down for over 10 years now ! </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.pcgs.com/PCGSMedia/graphs/index10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And if coin mags wanna stay in business - well, they aint gonna do that by telling everybody how bad things are. They&#039;ve got to find some way to write about something positive - not something negative. And he&#039;s doing that with his NSI. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the stocks of these numismatic companies may be going up, but the value of coins sure as heck aint ! But then that&#039;s because the two things don&#039;t have anything to do with each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
