<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7870148, member: 97383&quot;]Last month Louis Golino wrote a very insightful article for the <b>Coin Week </b>website: <b>The Coin Analyst: Comparing Today&#039;s Booming Coin Market With the 1980s</b>, see the link below. The coin market of the late 1980&#039;s &amp; early 1990s endured a serious crash that coincided with a crash in commodities &amp; the stock market. Leading the coin market crash were slabbed U.S. coins, especially silver dollars. When <b>PCGS </b>&amp; <b>NGC </b>released census reports on exactly how many coins were graded in each condition, reality slapped collectors &amp; dealers in the face <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Since then we&#039;ve seen <b>gradeflation</b> &amp; <b>market grading</b> entering the market. Despite these new trends the market for slabbed coins is strong, including slabbed ancient coins. Eventually census numbers for slabbed ancient coins will play an important role in determining their value &amp; corrections in the market will occur. In the meantime, collectors &quot;holding their breath&quot; waiting for a market crash may be the real victims of the <b>Greatest Fool Theory</b>. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coinweek.com/modern-coins/the-coin-analyst-comparing-todays-booming-coin-market-with-the-1980s/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/modern-coins/the-coin-analyst-comparing-todays-booming-coin-market-with-the-1980s/" rel="nofollow">The Coin Analyst: Comparing Today’s Booming Coin Market With the 1980s (coinweek.com)</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
