<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinage86, post: 213468, member: 7584&quot;]In the other thread: investing versus collecting: somebody said a $50 common morgan at its high point was $1500.&nbsp; &nbsp; I would dare to say that i think such declines have nothing to do with volatility of the coin market, and nothing to do with normal cyclical trends.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&nbsp; would venture to guess coin collecting was simply a completely different creature before the internet.&nbsp; Before the internet,&nbsp; collectors had no idea of the actual supply, nor did they really have any way to buy and sell outside their local markets.&nbsp;&nbsp; now, the common date coin you&#039;re looking for, can be located in any of a hundred to a thousand cities.&nbsp; &nbsp; It doesnt matter what you collect:&nbsp; cardboard crowns from burger king;&nbsp; plastic hair rollers;&nbsp; mickey mantle baseball cards.&nbsp;&nbsp; The internet has changed the antiques and collectibles industry.&nbsp;&nbsp; Possibly more than any other industry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
