<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 2228473, member: 13450&quot;]I collect HRE Crowns and see very few come up for sale at the higher grades and if they do, they are reserved at retail+ levels. At the ANA, I had more material of my own than dealers combined. To me this may indicate a slow market where consignments are held back. As I believe collectors of these are mostly collectors rather than investors, they are not sold. However, when looking at Kunker auctions overseas top material goes through the roof and this with a strong dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not as familiar with US coin collectors outside of the US. I am sure its accretive as crown collectors include US type specimens in their set, however not sure if its a systematic collecting theme. At the ANA I was amazed at how &quot;commoditized&quot; US coin sales have become - I sat near a US dealer table and all I heard was PCGS vs NGC, CAC or no CAC etc. Prices were quoted off a sheet with less regard to the coin itself. The population of these coins is very broad and one can build a very nice starter set off Ebay. To me, this seems far more of a sensitive market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Time will tell yet good points here by everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
