<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 740276, member: 112&quot;]I would say that you are correct to a degree. However, bull markets tend to bring the coins out and make them available. The beginning of bear markets does the same. But once a bear market is in full swing, coins sit in the safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look back over the past couple of years there have been more high dollar coins sold than ever before. Why ? Because they were bringing record prices and those who had those collections wanted to capitalize on that while they could. This has happened worldwide, not just in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>But now, now that pretty much everyone recognizes that the market is in a slump, the release of those collections is slowing down. There are still those who are fearful that it will continue down for some time still selling, trying to get out while they can. Others will sit tight and wait it out. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin market outside the US has been in a frenzy this past year or so. Prices have never been higher, rarities not seen for decades have been coming out of the woodwork and are being sold, sold for record prices. Generally the world market lags behind the US in that regard. But they too have caught on and want to get out while the getting is good.</p><p><br /></p><p>So when you see big name collections, what you call really good material, hitting the market in large numbers, that&#039;s usually the sign that it&#039;s over or soon will be. Those people with the more knowledge, experience, contacts and inside information - they lead the way for what is coming. And when they slow down - you&#039;ve missed the boat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
