<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2233476, member: 26302&quot;]Yes, but you are making huge assumptions. Just because population is growing does not mean coin collectors will. If you assume coin collectors grow, it does not mean they will collect what you and I collect. Even if they collect what you and I collect does not mean they will collect it the same way.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My only advice would be advice a long time dealer gave to me years ago. &quot;What you really want to collect is what dealers generally do not have&quot;, and that would be scarce, problem free, attractive coins. Look at what is typically in dealer trays at shows, modern coins, problem coins, common morgans and other common coins. How many problem free attractive bust quarters do you usually see? How many problem free early cents? How many nice uncleaned XF/AU barber halves? They don&#039;t have to be keys, (but can be, I am just pointing out a danger many overlook earlier about keys), but just NICE COINS, genuinely scarce, and very collectible. How the dealer explained it to me was, &quot;I have 20 collectors who will buy that coin in a heartbeat. That is why they are never in my inventory, and this built up demand is why they will almost never go down. They are supported by collectors who wish to collect, not speculators who come and go.&quot; Yes, many times you will have to pay above &quot;greysheet&quot; for such things, but in my experience it is money well spent long term.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
