Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 750920, member: 6036"]Once is enough ! I love these sort of graphs for a number of reasons. There is a broad range is issues rolled in there, so one gets a broad view, not anecdotal evidence. But even better - PCGS did all the work, not me ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> As mentioned before, it's wise to actually work the numbers, as graphs can be visually misleading - they can look almost flat to almost vertical depending solely on scaling. In this case, PCGS scaled such that it comfortably fills the graph vertically. So let's look at percent change from the market high to low (I chose the red 6-month moving average). And here is the math : graph #1high 73000low 70000drop 3000 (4.1%) graph #2high 121000low 114300drop 6700 (5.5%) graph #3high 48830low 48000drop 830 (1.7%) graph #4high 94000low 88000drop 6000(6.4%) graph #5high 143000low 135800drop 7200 (5.0%) graph #6high 29450low 28180drop 1270(4.3%) graph #7high 50500low 46500drop 4000 (7.9%) So the worst one was the last one (20th century coin index), which showed a 7.9% drop. The best was #3, which only dropped 1.7%. Which suggests we should all go out and buy a lot of proof gold coins ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Of course, no one can say if the market has bottomed out yet. The graph only goes to August - ANA time, which was certainly slow. And it was still trending down. So yes, it's clear the market is off. Some coins more than others.[/QUOTE]
