<p>[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 623590, member: 13342"]Interesting discussion. I've noticed the same thing in the coin market, and agree that it is potentially a good time to buy, but it is also quite risky if you are looking at coins as an "investment". Coin prices may decline a lot more before they go back up. As a collector, the dropping prices are great for me now, as I can more easily pick up coins that I need. I think the coins that are higher risk are the ones where the numismatic value greatly out weighs the (face value/metal content value).</p><p> </p><p> I believe that common date gold coins are safer, because two markets have to crash in order for the coin to be worth less(both the PM market, and the numismatic market). Coins may lose significant numismatic value, but if gold continues to be a strong hedge against inflation, the coins won't drop much in price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
