<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3139640, member: 112&quot;]Do you have any idea how old that basic concept is ? And I don&#039;t mean about slabbing coins, that is nothing more than, and I won&#039;t even say modern version, that is merely the current version of the same basic concept. Allow me to share a brief excerpt from an article I wrote many years ago to explain what I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>In the early 14th century the Abbot of Tournai, Gilles Li Muisis, made a rather astute comment. En monnoies est li cose moult obscure Elles vont haut et bas, se ne set-on que faire Quand on guide wagnier, on troeve le contraire.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Translation - &quot;Coins are the most obscure things. Their value rises and falls, and one does not know what to do. When one thinks that he has gained, he finds the contrary - that he has lost&quot;.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>That quotation is from the early 1300&#039;s, but the same concept had existed since long before that ! Point being it&#039;s just as true today as it was 700 years ago, and even before. It is nothing new.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
