<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 24462, member: 112&quot;]It seems that my problem is that I&#039;m my own worst enemy. I pick an area that I like and begin looking for nice examples reasonably priced. As I find them - I share the beauty and history of these coins by posting pics in pretty much all of the coin forums. It doesn&#039;t take long - pretty soon others are competing for the same coins. Pretty soon prices begin to move up - pretty soon prices have doubled&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; And pretty soon I find another area&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>But my comment was directed more to the world coinage in general than a specific area. In the past year alone I have seen dramatic changes in many, many areas. And no I am not egotistical enough to think that I had anything to do with it. In my opinion, one of the primary reasons was the US coin market - prices have gotten out of hand and in many cases totally unrealistic. Savy collectors know this - they&#039;ve been through it before. And when it happens - just like me - they move into &quot;other areas&quot;. And this time - I think it has turned out to be world coinage&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
