Message:: [QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 6717779, member: 20480"]Many people are under the misconception that market pricing is necessarily linked to auction results.  This is incorrect.  Many times coins sell for less at auction than they will ultimately bring from multiple different buyers, and for numerous reasons . . . poor advertising, poor market timing, poor photos, poor economic conditions, etc. The differences in availability in top grade should make the answer to your question self-evident.  The 1936 in MS67FB or better is represented by 311 PCGS examples (plus grades not counted), while only 27 of the 1930 have been similarly graded. I believe my response was neither rude, nor an outburst.  Your perception that it was either or both may have been born of the defensive mindset you appeared to have adopted after being corrected by so many members. I'm not making excuses for any members you feel were less than tolerant of your posts, but a lot of knowledge is embodied in the membership at CoinTalk.  Perhaps if you approached the voice of experience with a bit more humility, you'd find the reception a bit warmer in the future.[/QUOTE]
