<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2736522, member: 76863&quot;]I disagree with this.&nbsp; The internet market is pretty alive and well and rather healthy overall even if a lot of internet collectors collect more modern things.&nbsp; The show going market is certainly shrinking and many don&#039;t have what they would like to spend on coins, but by no means is collecting dying.&nbsp;&nbsp; Show attendance is probably down and ANA membership likely is as well but collectors no longer need either of those things anymore with the internet now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the future of details coins, I do not believe them to be the kiss of death that should be avoided at all cost.&nbsp; Most importantly they all have varying degrees of issues.&nbsp; There are plenty that would look pretty good in an album if someone was putting an album together.&nbsp; Yes some are a complete mess but most just have some issue that if the buyer is aware can get them the coin much cheaper.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing too is just sometimes people don&#039;t have a choice.&nbsp; If they want a 1795 half or a bust dollar some people do have to look for details ones because of the price points.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as future value you mentioned you believed they will only be worth melt.&nbsp; IF the market ever got that bad that anything detailed was just melt value everyone will have lost a ton of money and it wouldn&#039;t matter what kind of coins you had unless you had a TDN type collection that the ultra rich would be interested in.&nbsp; I do not believe nor do online sales really support that we are in for a total collapse.&nbsp; Is the market slower than before sure, but nothing that it hasn&#039;t been through before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
