<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EagleEye, post: 530062, member: 16990&quot;]The book is &quot;Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds&quot; By Charles Mackay. It explores the various bubbles markets that had played out prior to 1841, when it was written. The tulip mania of 1637, South Sea bubble of 1711-1720 and the Mississippi Company of 1719-1720. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It gets reread and referenced during or after every bubble since then - Dot-com, WI extra leaf, Housing, etc.. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Strong bids for toned coins does not, I believe, fall into the classic bubble mentality, since the buyers are buying natural works of art - similar to mineral collecting or art. Buyers can choose not to buy minerals or art, but don&#039;t tell anyone collecting them that are &quot;nuts&quot; for doing so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
