<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2123425, member: 1765&quot;]It&#039;s really hard to generalize on how much coins have increased or decreased.&nbsp; In the U.S., the coins that have increased consistently are the more rare coins that are of markedly higher quality than others, often very high grade, always stunning in appearance.&nbsp; These are the coins that come up for auction once in a great while and make bidders think that they can pay up now or wait for an unknown amount of time before another like it shows up again.&nbsp; It&#039;s even hard to generalize as to what kind of increase these have seen since 2008, but 50% would not be unreasonable for some.&nbsp; At the other end of the spectrum are unpopular coins that may be in mediocre condition and not terribly attractive.&nbsp; These are probably still in dealers&#039; stock books from 2008 with the same prices on them as they had then.&nbsp; They&#039;ll also still be there 7 years from now.&nbsp; One U.S. series that seems to have had softening prices over the past 7 years is the classic commemoratives (1892-1954).&nbsp; While the series comprises arguably some of the finest numismatic art in U.S. history, the coins are readily available, and collectors are picking over those that are available for the ones that are very attractive, leaving run-of-the-mill coins to languish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
