<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 99697, member: 3011&quot;]I think you need to invert the question to get to the right answer.&nbsp; We are in a long term bear market for the dollar.&nbsp; This was very apparent for several years ending around the beginning of 2005 when the dollar stablized.&nbsp; Some observers believe this was due to the tax break on repatriating dollars that expires this coming week, and they believe the dollar will resume its drop in 2006.</p><p><br /></p><p>How does this relate to coins?&nbsp; The underlying economic conditions favor investments in commodities and other things.&nbsp; Coins represent one of those &quot;things&quot; along with real estate, oil, metals, art and other tangible items that are viewed as ways to preserve purchasing power when the dollar falls.&nbsp; Nothing about this guarantees that coins will continue to rise because numismatics enjoys its own cycles separate and apart from the rest of the world.&nbsp; But it raises the probability that coins will continue to rise in value -- for now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
