<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 752336, member: 112&quot;]Really ? Then apparently you didn&#039;t notice that that the index contains every Buffalo nickel ever minted with each one in grades from 63 thru 67. Same for the Mercury dimes, Walking Liberty halves, every Morgan dollar, every Peace dollar and every early commemorative. Not exactly &quot;very valuable coins&quot;. Throw in the common date denominations from earlier coinage and overall you have a pretty good representation of the coin market as a whole.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>See above. Then also consider that every dealer you talk to, every magazine you read, every show report you read, every new listing of realized auction prices - each and every one of them tells you that the coin market is down anywhere from 30-50% - right now, today. And that includes all those common date, low grade, $20-$50 coins that you mention.</p><p><br /></p><p>The evidence is there and it is indisputable.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, the charts from 1970 appear flat for the past 14 years. But that is only because of the huge spike in 1989. Charts present realative data, and the data must be viewed as such. Each&nbsp; one presents its own separate picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want to see recent years from a different perspective ? Well how about these of the last 10 years.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/index10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/msgold10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/mstype10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/mpeace10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/keys10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pcgs.com/images/graphs/twenty10graph.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn&#039;t appear quite so flat now does it. And you might want to pay closer attention to that last one as it represents the most common and lowest priced coins being tracked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
