Re: Clad Proof Sets
I think there's many similarities. After all, all "hype" has the same kind of trajectory. You could add things like 1950-D nickels to the list. Perceived rarity - which is very different than actual rarity - causes a surge in both prices and hoarding. But, over time, as the hoards are dispersed and the actual commonness of… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
"This statement is false." Your question is a logical impossibility. You can't restock what was never stocked. You can't raze a non-existent structure. You don't stock what you can't sell so why stock it in the first place. If you stepped outside reality like this why would you want to restock anyway? If there's no market… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
Blatantly false. I have personally preserved proof and mint sets, and I am sure many, many others have, as well. Obviously super-rare coins are in a different category. This thread is about collector coins that were issued by the millions or atleast hundreds of thousands. This is just another of your outrageous and… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
Lazy historians and careless news outlets often consider the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 to be end of the Cold War, but at the Malta Summit in 1989, Bush and Gorbachev declared an end to the Cold War, and it can be argued that it was effectively over a couple years prior to that. In any case, you said your… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
Copilot- Why TPG populations are not independent data They look like data, but they are shaped by submission behavior, not by survival. Every distortion you listed is real: Regrades inflate the numbers — the same coin can appear multiple times. Unsubmitted coins don’t exist in the dataset — and most coins are unsubmitted.… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
No, it did NOT. Why must you just make up facts? Her collection actually started with 1932. She's a regular. She even bought low grade 32D and 32S quarters last fall. THANKS FOR PLAYING!!!! Copilot called. She's taking out a restraining order. -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
It dawned on me last night that my favorite place where I have scored some really nice and profitable mint sets, that I had been putting off buying any of their proof sets. And some of these may have been from the same collection that I had found silver coins and tokens inside the mint sets. Wondering about the… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
LOL. Actually, the classic example of a "Giffen good" is potatoes during the Irish potato famine. We may be suffering through the clad proof set famine of 2026. Or not. I think the more appropriate comparison would be to Coach bags which are considered luxury items and fall under the category of "Veblen goods": items that… -
Re: Clad Proof Sets
In case we're not yet at 1 MILLION WORDS! Follow-up prompt: Follow-up, if Mint sets are the source for high grade examples, doesn't that decrease the survival rate? Is there any way to estimate the survival rate of, for example, a 1971 Mint set and a 1971 Proof set? Yes—and you’re asking exactly the right question. Mint…
