[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 1915283, member: 21782"]Once upon a time, coin dealers made the market and controlled which coins were hyped or promoted. But today, with the internet and the U.S. Mint, as well as world mints, becoming the largest coin dealers, have traditional dealers lost their clout? I’d say they have. When it comes to modern coins, the U.S. Mint and world mints are the largest dealers out there, telling us all which coins to collect and which coins will be hot. And contrary to history and popular believe, these days they are offering some beautiful rarities that should perform well in the short and long run. When it comes to classic coins and the secondary market for moderns, with the growth of the internet, we’ve all become dealers via sites like eBay. We no longer need or want the traditional dealers to tell us what is hot, we know what is hot, we see the market and we all make the market. What say you?[/QUOTE]
