<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dctjr80, post: 699440, member: 15915&quot;]Not to get away from the point, but I have noticed that it isn&#039;t so much if something goes up in cost, because as andrew289 said, everything goes up in cost. This is more or less just money losing more value in my opinion. I have been beginning to try and compare the purchasing power something had when it was minted and seeing the purchasing power it would have if I sold it today to determine how much true Numismatic value it has. Basically as an example, from what I can determine, most common date circulated Morgan dollars have approximately the same purchasing power as the day they were minted. So in reality they have only staved off inflation during the whole time of existence. This to me would not really be of that much Numismatic Value.</p><p>So I am trying to say, that I have begun to try and decide what is worth keeping more so based on how much greater its buying power is today than when it was created and viewing that as its true value and trying to assess how much more buying power it will generate in the future or if it has already peaked <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
