<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pepperoni, post: 479157, member: 5520&quot;]This open to anyone who can add some thoughts or knowledge as always.</p><p>With the real state of the economy really in a depressed state, where will the line be drawn ? When will people agree that most proof coins will go at least MS or PF 68.</p><p>With gold selling for 20 to 30% more then spot it signifies that the dollar in not trusted. </p><p>Even with oil continueing to drop. OPEC countries are in a lot of trouble as if we started pumping the oil we buy from them ourselves. </p><p>If we get smart a go at an energy policy now and put many Americans to work in these times we could solve several world issues at once. One trick pony countries would be forced to become of another ilk. Making exports, and training their citizens to do productive profitable work.</p><p>No time for NUCLEAR except for power.</p><p>I see little future in TPGs other then to qualify a coin as authentic for older units. The prices are out of line and very possibly you never get back the coin you sent in.</p><p>If I were a dealer, a hint of a percentage of high grade coins is not unthinkable. As a vast amount of units cross a TPGs tables they have the whole cookie jar. They can take care of the big shooters and throw the rest a periodic bone.</p><p>Looking at their operation would tell nothing. It could be done the minute you left. </p><p>Like diamonds I do not trust single source or even dual source suppliers to tell ALL the truth. It is not profitable to do so. </p><p>Are 70 grade coins worth twice as much as a 69 ?</p><p>They set the prices,according to a number which they call demand. </p><p>As with stocks some appear to be market makers for certain coins.</p><p>We all want our coins to increase in value, but not in a way that will create a bust, that is way more then the boom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
