<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 744437, member: 5719&quot;]Carl, I wonder how much of the activity you&#039;re seeing is, well, attempts to take advantage of uninformed buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>At my last coin club meeting there was a Wall Street Journal article discussed.&nbsp; It was apparently noted in that article that coins outperformed other investment vehicles.&nbsp; (Disclaimer: I have not read the piece for myself.)&nbsp; Perhaps there are enough people out there who believe, or want to believe, that coins are a place to land when flying out of mutual funds, bank accounts with extremely low interest rates, Beanie Babies, etc.&nbsp; And maybe that&#039;s what you&#039;re seeing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not heard of any large increases in sales volumes locally, although I have not been very involved with coins in the last few months.&nbsp; The coin show I attended two weeks ago was called &quot;slow&quot; by some dealers, especially on the Sunday of the two day show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
