    25 cents? And you deem this thread worthy? I give up!image
  • gee, I didn't post it for the price....I posted it as a joke due to the past....Russ had purchased a quantity of silver at different times and it seemed like every time he did it would spike....

    please sit down and take a deep breath......

    AND I CONTEND THAT A 25 CENT INCREASE ON AN $18.36 ITEM IS NOT A "SPIKE". ITS A 1% INCREASE!!!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF "SPIKE" IS!image

    Im sorry, its just that new threads about 1% increases in PM's are my ultimate pet peeve. If silver or gold jumped 6 or 7% this morning, then by all means, start a thread! But a 1% increase? Come on man.

    If it's only 3%, can we have half a thread, and throw in a joke to make it a whole one?

    these threads are so predictable and appear like flowers in spring when PMs
    jump just a tad.

    the russ joke is aging poorly.

  • It may be better to state that $18.15 worth of silver coins went up to $18.36 of silver coins? Does this now make the Thread coin related? Just curious and looking for group hug territory....Respectfully, John Curlis (don't know present value of anal chafing sticks)

    gecko - where have you been lately?? - the price of PM's (commodities) directly affects the coin market - if you havent noitced . . . common date gold eagles and saints are well over $1000/coin - many on this forum know a hell of a lot more than I do and I welcome info on PM's etc and how it relates to coin collecting - keep it coming!!!!

    Hey Jimmy, how much more is my 1887 dime in PCGS64 worth now that silver is up 25 cents?
  • mcheathmcheath Posts: 2,441 ✭✭✭
    Gecko, for a person who can't stand Pm threads you sure post alot on them. Like six times on this thread alone. The thread would be on page 20 if it wasn't for you.

    Hey Jimmy, how much more is my 1887 dime in PCGS64 worth now that silver is up 25 cents?

    Honestly? Probably about 5-10% higher this year based on gold's and silver's movements in 2007. They both float all boats in the coin hobby. In higher grades, gold is probably driving select coin prices upwards 15-20% per year.

    I always thought that rarity was rarity and metal was metal and the two did not intermix too much.

    I did not think you used a multiplier on the price of the metal to measure the value of the rarity.

    The price of the coin is actually set by the price that the buyer pays. Population numbers from the grading services probably influence rarity-price more than movements in metal prices.

    Correct me if I am incorrect.

    You are correct. As a blob of silver, my 1887 dime is worth about $1.33. In a PCGS 64 slab, it is worth about $345. Therefore, a 25 cent increase in the price of silver actually increases the melt value of my coin by 2 cents. In other words, ALL of the value is in the rarity of the coin.
  • planetsteveplanetsteve Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭✭
    I think roadrunner's point is that movements in PM pricing has direct effects on interest in the rare coin market. Certainly a year of marked PM movement upward, of which today's bump is another step forward, will likely have a positive effect on pricing of all coins, not just bullion.

    Roadrunner, please correct me if my belief is nuanced to the point of irrelevance. image
