[QUOTE="cdc, post: 1423451, member: 33641"]Based on books I read, it was based on Wall Street investment firms like Solomon Brothers adding rare coins to their investment portfolios and the general idea that coins were an "investment". Obviously this would create a huge increase in demand if people thought they could invest in coins and make MORE profit than stocks, etc. Gantz did, and still does publish these kind of crazy profitable returns in his books - fuel for the fire I guess but call me a skeptic. Heck, right now I'm worried about not even paying fair price and breaking even but instead paying some overinflated price for an over-graded coin / cleaned coin / counterfeit coin. I may be stupid about these things* .... but at least I know it. If I break even THAT would be a success IMHO. * But learning a lot thanks to the folks here.[/QUOTE]
