<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2918026, member: 56370&quot;]The availability of coins online really does change our perspective.&nbsp; Back when I was collecting coins in grade school in the pre internet days, an SVDB seemed like the ultimate rarity.&nbsp; Now it just looks overpriced and there are so many much rarer and more exotic type coins I could buy&nbsp; for the same money.&nbsp; If more people start thinking like we do then the price has nowhere to go but down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before there was an internet there were fewer options for acquiring rare coins, so perhaps the SVDB was in such high demand because of its availability. People didn’t have as many opportunities to branch out as we do now.&nbsp; So a lot of the price declines we are seeing may be due to structural and generational changes rather than a decline in the hobby in general.&nbsp; Also the money spent overall is likely more spread out than before, into world coins, specialized varieties, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
