<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 2106104, member: 73489&quot;]No I&#039;m not....I&#039;m just trying to show that when you are paying a huge premium to bullion for commons or semi-scarce years/mintages, there&#039;s downside risk if the premium dissipates.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t say it was in the same conversation as the 1924 but I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s tough based on relative scarcity.&nbsp; Akers has it 48th and 40th in his difficulty index, for overall and high-grade.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, I&#039;m not talking about a coin I desire nor can&#039;t afford, I was just talking about a particular coin, not a super-scarce one, that went DOWN in price as gold went UP.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I simply misremembered the year, 1922 vs. 1924, along with the price.</b>&nbsp; I corrected myself and found the entire quote from Albanese to illustrate my point.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no deceptive intent on my part.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t complaining IMRich, I was simply noting that in the past premiums can dissipate.&nbsp; I actually think in the aggregate there is LESS risk of this as the common premiums have come down (as have others).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I quoted Albanese, isn&#039;t that a supported statement ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, you misconstrued my posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m simply trying to extrapolate from past pricing eras and seeing if there is upside/downside for the commons (using MS-65 as a guideline) and maybe for some other years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, the huge premiums on purely numismatic coins such as the 1907 HRs or other more-difficult years/mintages trade in their own universe.&nbsp; I don&#039;t expect them to be influenced that much by the price of gold OR the premiums on MS-65 commons or even semi-commons.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I find the history of the premiums for MS-65 common Saints, MS-66/67 commons, and more scarce/purely numismatic years/mintages to be fascinating when looking back over 3-4 gold and coin cycles.&nbsp; </b>And since most dealers I sea at coin shows and most LCSs concentrate on commons or near-commons, I think this is more relevant for most of us here than whether high-end coins will go up/down and affect Stacks Bowers, Heritage, and Legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
