I can read them if you leave one and if you have a question, I will likely answer it.
Heads up.
Better news, been teaching myself data analysis and visualization lately. Basically grabbing data from the net, creating a database, and using that database to automatically graph out the data. Programming in Python is fun and productive.
Did my first run this past weekend.
Was quite happy with the results.
I scraped all Eisenhower Silver Dollar slabbed PCGS coin sales.
Roughly 1500 transactions covering 3 months.
I only focused on the silver coins and only on PCGS registry grade types.
Here is a sample of the sales data.
In the graphs, each gold dot is one sale that took place during that month. It takes 5 layers of overlapping gold dots to form a solid gold color. That way you can see the concentration of the data points at a glance.
Anyway, there is the data for the 1973s Silver Ike Dollar in PCGS MS65 - 68. Just a quick taste. More tonight or tomorrow morning.
I will be rolling out that data here this next week and I will be sharing it on my coin home, Coin Community Forums as well as on Reddit.
I get banned from reddit roughly every weekend for my pro liberty views and anti banks printing money out of thin air views so you really can't follow me over there as I have to hit and run from fresh accounts.
Coin Community Family (CCF) is a great source for coin collectors and my discussion home.
I won't be having a discussion board or a subreddit on coins, there is no need, CCF has that function handled great and has a huge user base.
Anyway, that is what I have been up to.
Learning some Python and watching silver and gold perform well this summer.
Silver was up big again today and is back above $18. Silver was just $13 like a minute ago so $18 is a nice move from that perspective. For the buy and holders still holding from $20+ or even $30+ or $40+ silver, not so much.
Gold to Silver Ratio (GSR) has finally started swinging back to the silver side. To those of you who swapped gold for silver as you should per GSR theory, congrats as you are sitting on some free ounces right now. Me, I didn't. I would only swap silver for gold. Gold is something you die with, you never part with it.
