<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1471310, member: 68&quot;]On a lot of the stuff I buy I need to make 20 or 30 times my moneyjust to break even.&nbsp; This is because I have very little money invested in it but lots of postage, shoe leather, blood, sweat, and tears wrapped up in it.&nbsp; I&#039;d go through large quantities of junk looking for anything that was rarely seen or Gem.&nbsp; A lot of these coins I have less than a penny apiece in and even though they&#039;ve gone up to a dollar I still can&#039;t really break even.&nbsp; Not that I&#039;m crying since I&#039;ve got profits of 10,000 fold and higher on some stuff as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The real era of opportunity is now because there are so many of these rare coins from the developing countries that haven&#039;t gone up yet.&nbsp; Brazilian coins have shown no increses in decades but I know the demand must be increasing because the economy is very strong.&nbsp; Incredibly no Chinese circulating coinage is showing any increase yet (though they accidently left Taiwan out of the new catalog).&nbsp; There are opportunities everywhere but the downside is it will take you time to learn the difference between common junk and rare coins.&nbsp; There&#039;s some small guidance now and this information can be extrapolated to apply to other countries.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just dumbfounded by some of the coins that are exploding upward.&nbsp; A few of them are ones I passed on at $1 because I thought they were too common.&nbsp; Now they list for hundreds and routinely sell on eBay.&nbsp; Most get shipped out of the country because that&#039;s where the demand is.&nbsp; So long as we continue on the current path our middle class will continue to shrink but many of these foreign countries will continue to grow no matter what we do.&nbsp; The one thing no one saved in this country were moderns.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t save US moderns and they didn&#039;t save world moderns.&nbsp; Now there&#039;s demand at home for many of these coins and there&#039;s no supply for some of them so prices are explosive.&nbsp; I might start selling into some of this strenght but truth to tell I think most of this will prove the tip of the iceberg.&nbsp; There are lots of coins with mintages in the tens of millions which barely exist at all and are rarely seen in pristine condition.&nbsp; The country of origin didn&#039;t save the coins and neither did US collectors.&nbsp; People will be searching poundage for this stuff for decades now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
