Thinking back on our most recent PM market fluctuations I can't help but wonder how others are coping. I'm not so much addressing the bullion aspect but focusing on numismatic trade. Rising intrinsic values have stripped away numismatic value from a lot of coins, both graded and raw. Some people have taken advantage of the price hikes and sold for melt where they could while others hesitated. Personally I switched focus to other numismatic areas that were not affected as much by the crazy metals market. What other things have people done (if any) to adjust their buying, trading and collecting during this chaotic time?
I hadn't bought much since the early teens, but the last year I sold off a few of my '90s AGEs and bought those hole fillers I have needed for so long. Now I am just holding tight waiting for the next change in the market. If the bullion continues dropping then it will be time to buy again, and that's what I think will happen, but if not then continue converting and picking up a few more of the tough ones.
