<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MixtureNo79, post: 3086128, member: 42957&quot;]I find this post and follow-ups fascinating!</p><p><br /></p><p>GDJMSP I agree with a lot of what you say, but I definitely think coin trading </p><p>is going the way of the internet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding whether this will affect pricing, well that is something completely out of our control, so why are we making such a big deal of it? It has created a much larger market, which, in my opinion, is always a good thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I think your definition of a coin dealer is </p><p>questionable. Do they really still live off of what they make selling to other </p><p>dealers and collectors at trade/coin shows? And if they do, are there really </p><p>nearly as many of them as there were 20-30 years ago? It seems you would have to get much more adept at what you do just to make the same amount as before, or at least change your tactics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I think what you are saying is probably true currently, or in the recent </p><p>past, but probably not in the near future. Internet coin sales will take over, and </p><p>old timey coin shows/auctions will die out and be left to the antique stores that may </p><p>still exist years from now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think one thing to remember is that coins can be seen much more clearly now through close-up pictures/scans which are easily transmittable on the internet, so this can make quite a difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
