<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2870924, member: 19463"]If we are not to have the upper bracket threads of this series, perhaps we can think of another series of posts that will reinforce the points made here for the benefit of beginners. One that comes to mind would be a set of several similar, related coins that would cover a range of prices and explain why the 'same' coins might rate different prices. One obvious set would be condition grades. Another might be a set of three or more similar coins all in a similar grade that might merit different values based on points that might not be obvious to beginners. This could be differences in style, minor faults, strike, surface all on coins that might be VF, for example. We might even need to point out that some reverses are premium and some are considered boring within a single ruler's coins. What thread series would benefit beginners even a fraction as much a has this one we are now completing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
