Collectors: Have you ever conversed with Mark Ferguson?

RYK

Do you know who Mark Ferguson is? He is the Coin World/ Coin Values Market Analyst, the one who is nominally responsible for pricing information provided by Coin World and Coin Values (formerly Trends). I have read in his column on more than one occasion that he converses with dealers AND collectors at coin shows to gather market and pricing information. I have seen him at a show (a friend pointed him out to me), but never met him. With all of the collectors who post here, I would assume that some forum members have indeed conversed with Mark Ferguson about their corner of the numismatic landscape.

Have you ever spoken with Mark Ferguson? (BTW, I hear he is a pretty nice guy.)

He calls me several times a week to get pricing info.

I've heard of him but never met him. His position seems pretty powerful.

No, but I asked one of his predecessors around the time of the release of SS Central America gold if a two tier value system would take shape, since at that time, AU 57-S $20s were selling for half the price of same grade SSCA coins. He had no answer and never got back to me. Perhaps the politics of a correct answer scared him off.

He attended the big forum member dinner at the Baltimore ANA in 2003. I got to say hello but that was it.

Read your recent article in Rare Coin Report. Not new to collecting, however past 2 years been seriously working on a US type set. Have some questions if willing to share.

Isn't there a better way to reach out to him rather than assuming he'll see your post here while risking your email address to be scraped for spambots to abuse?
