<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3070385, member: 92655&quot;]When I started collecting late 1960&#039;s early 1970&#039;s I am guessing spot gold was in the $150.00 range. So anyone that fortunate enough to have gold back then has at the very least seen that grow by X10 roughly.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most spectacular difference in my mind is the insane values being placed on doubling errors. I look on Google at the price graph for those (55/55 - 72/72 cents) and it floors me. I believe those pieces are vastly overpriced and due for a market correction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing that is unchanged are the coins that hold the deepest regard in my heart. The worn flat V-nickels and Indian cents that crowd every dealers bargain box. Those pieces were bargain box finds back then and are bargain box finds still today and are (romantically to me anyway) the biggest bargain in numismatics. Where else can you hold a piece of 19th century history in your hands for a a cash outlay of fifty cents or so?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
