<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 124938, member: 3011&quot;]The young collectors out there don&#039;t really have any experience with inflation -- at least not the 1970s variety.&nbsp; There is no need to decide on a selling price in advance.&nbsp; Keep in mind that prices can go much much higher than you ever imagine.&nbsp; You will live to see prices so high that people won&#039;t believe you when you tell them you could buy gas for only $2.50 per gallon and a house for a mere $400,000.&nbsp; I know it&#039;s hard to believe, but it will happen.&nbsp; So while $20 silver might seem high to you now, in 30 years it will probably buy you a candy bar.&nbsp; I have an old Handbook of United States Coins; 22nd edition by R.S. Yeoman published in 1965.</p><p><br /></p><p>Uncirculated 1921 Morgan dollars were $1.00</p><p>1885CC uncircluated Morgan was $30.00</p><p>1916D mercury dime was $105.00</p><p>1909S VBD was already up to $100.00</p><p>Most buffalo nickels were still a nickel in XF condition</p><p>Most $20 Liberty gold coins were $43.00</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this isn&#039;t an abberation.&nbsp; It&#039;s the way things are under an economic system that uses fiat currency.&nbsp; So you might be better off trading what you have for something else you want than just converting your collection to cash.&nbsp; Keep your coin money invested in coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s fun and there is a good chance to benefit in the very long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
