<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 570894, member: 3011"]Looking out into the future, my guess is that the population will be larger but poorer than today. So I think coin values will track inflation with some rising much more and others lagging behind; but with no real intrinsic growth in value as a group. Now, inspite of what anyone else tells you, keeping up with inflation is pretty good performance since most investments don't. The "winners" in the future will most likely be coins that are relatively unrecognized today, and therefore relatively bargain priced. I have my own ideas about this, and everyone needs to investigate the coin market and decide for themselves what to collect based on interest and estimated future value. Some coins seem to be perpetually popular like morgan dollars. Others rise and fall with whatever the latest fashion is, or what promoters are pushing. That's part of what makes coin collecting interesting and challenging at the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
