<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 655456, member: 19065&quot;]defamming? hardly. it&#039;s impressive this addition game elaine has running. she just needs to learn to substantiate the data and clarify intent, as the purpose of running these figures is rather curious, and to what means doing it? I happen to question such things. I especially feel it&#039;s worth questioning the accuracy of these numbers knowing that the figures will keep changing for many months and sometimes years to come, when regarding mintage stats. The ability to verify the figures and consider the usefulness of the data would be greatly appreciated. How elaine derives the numbers would be an interesting thing to learn as well, as there seems to be a fair amount of &quot;copy-paste&quot; action going on here, which is essentially copying some one elses&#039; work without attributing the fact to other sources. I don&#039;t look upon that favorably, particularly when there&#039;s so much questionable info online that anyone can copy-paste anything at will, and they do, all over the web, again and again and again. Without sources to the data these figures don&#039;t matter much what they represent, when the information was valid, for how long or for that matter if and when there were errors present, and there have been errors, gratefully corrected by elaine, and so on. Take for instance IF someone were basing buy/sell decisions on these figures and they were sprinkled with errors they&#039;d likely make some mistakes. Of course there&#039;s no guarantees in this data but it&#039;s rather messy computing day after day, after day when a more accurate source is likely being cited and unaccredited. I will ask again, elaine, cite some sources to prove the accuracy and onecoinpony to butt out of my right to question the source of the data its accuracy and elaine&#039;s intent in posting these figures. I will go as far as to suggest that she has little interest in the coins being tallied and more in the ability to spark hysteria and reactions from readers when posting high vs low numbers. Watch for the patterns and the type of posts here and in the bullion forums and you may understand my point and reason to question the figures. It&#039;s not defamming, it&#039;s actually an attempt to disprove my suspicions and to claim fame, if that&#039;s what it is. Could say more, but I&#039;ve said it before, show some sources and don&#039;t spread hype and don&#039;t stoke the gold bugs on up market days. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: No harm meant by my words, just looking for something to back up the numbers. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
