[QUOTE="900fine, post: 377935, member: 6036"]This is certainly true. And your point about the 3c is well made. If one uses ONLY those, one gets a very skewed result, which is not indicative of the real world Perhaps that's why they used 3,000 different issues. Well, perhaps SOME graphs are. But as a currently practicing engineer, I can assure you we do NOT start with a certain result in mind. We analyze piles of data in an effort to get to a truthful picture of what's actually happening. Anything else is self-deception. Any attempt to deceive others will be found out soon enough. Strive for truth. I can't say what PCGS did or didn't do. I do know there are mega-factors at play driving all sorts of economics, and I don't see major changes in those factors anytime soon. Oil, precious metals, expanding economies in China and India... all mega-factors. So yes... there will be ups and downs in all things, but I think overall coins will continue to appreciate as a group, with high quality coins doing the best. As always. I personally don't see a 1990 style plummet. What factors are at play to make that happen ?[/QUOTE]
