“Check out HSN today. I'm not suggesting you buy anything but all of a sudden he's saying he can no longer buy any kennedy or Ikes at the old price. He's saying the prices have soared. Of course it has. I've been watching sharply higher bid prices reverberate through the market for weeks now. The coins were never there and now there's a little demand. $900 for a 32 pc Ike set!!! I think it hasn't even really started yet because higher prices will cause sharply higher demand and the coins are gone.”

Hahahaha. I’ve been flooded with so many silver Mint State and proof Ikes in the past few months that I just needed to open 3 more 10x10 safe boxes this past week to house just the “reject” coins that go straight into 32 piece sets. Not to mention the proof clad Kennedys and Ikes (and silver Ikes) I have submitted on the better part of 100+ orders currently at PCGS. I can’t wait to see this demand moving forward! 😆

Just my 2 cents.

It's best just to accept CK's pronouncements. Observing the coin market yourself is clearly misleading you.

As a type collector who has expanded my type sets to include interesting INTENTIONAL varieties, ...

By this do you mean stuff like minor design revisions?

Perhaps. There is minor and and then there is trivial. Up to you of course where you might draw the line. An example of one that I added was the 1854 $3, which also fits in my FY type set. If the design change doesn’t sort of hit me in the eyes I pass and leave those to the variety folks.

I had a similar experience as a dealer many years ago, a guy came up to my table smelling soooo bad!
I put up with as long as i could then politely asked him to leave…

Kinda similar experience years ago at the C4 show in Boston (If memory serves….). Walked out of the bourse to make a call (flip phone days!!), a dealer was out there also on the phone with his back to me and he broke the most remarkable wind, right in my direction. Was quite vile yet amusing at the same time.
I loved and miss that show, always looked forward to it.

Not so much a collector coin but I used it to show the size of this big one.
