<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 1010808, member: 20610&quot;]I believe that any downward tick in rare coin prices is tied to the economy. If you&#039;ve got only $1,000 in your pocket right now with no safety net, what are you going to spend your money on? A 1909-S VDB cent or groceries and the mortgage? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m very lucky I&#039;ve been able to purchase a few pieces I have always wanted (1909-S VDB, 1922 Plain cent, and a nice Draped Bust dollar) because prices for those have flatlined. However, I KNOW once the economy recovers their values will be going up -- and I&#039;ll be glad I purchased these coins when I did. </p><p><br /></p><p>I, however, don&#039;t buy my coins for investing. While it&#039;s nice to know what I own may increase in value, I don&#039;t foresee ever selling those three coins I mentioned above. I think many of us here straddle between being collectors and collector/investors. What&#039;s great about being in the latter column is that even if the value of what we own deflates, we still enjoy the inherent numismatic quality of our collections. And that&#039;s really what this is all about in the end anyway, right? :yes:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
