If the 3000 index includes Three Cent Nickel coins for example, the results would be skewed since there is little demand for them.

It all depends on what coins make up the 3000 index as to what the results will be.</p><p> </p><p>BTW, as a former engineer, I can tell you with certainty that those types of graphs are designed with a certain result in mind, if you get my drift.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
