    As afore mentioned, a certain TV Guru paved the way for some absurd pricing which is directed towards a broad, well meaning public. He likes to be known as the most influential information source on TV media, which he may indeed be, however, in working closely with NGC, has captivated his audience into trusting him with his knowledge and pricing strategy. We all know of his 40% overpricing throughout coin series, which he needs in order to pay for expensive media production and advertising, so it's no wonder that these inflated prices have found their way into the mainstream. We need to not forget this when shopping for coins in the real market and not get unintentionally caught in the net. It's a shame, for some novice coin buyers, that all they need to do is not buy from these sources, and stick with well known dealers and auctions in order to receive fair and accurate market pricing for their hard earned buck.

    I would buy a nice example of the 1950 proof. It is low mintage, and the prices are attractive now.

    Got $1500 to blow on that? I settled for a very nice PF-65 PCGS/C.A.C.

    Then, this is the time to do it, as there are a few nice ones around. Normally, there are very few.

    I was just looking on eBay and they only had one that I liked and it starts out at $1,695.
