<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WillieSutton, post: 77318, member: 3835&quot;]Yes, silver prices did move up dramatically and back down around 1980, and then stayed down for some twenty-plus years.&nbsp; Not everyone was around and paying attention at that time, so there may be more silver out there than&nbsp;&nbsp; we might imagine.&nbsp; And perhaps more controversially on this forum, there will likely have to be a huge debt meltdown ahead that could cause unplanned (or unwilling) selling of silver (and other) collectables and pieces.&nbsp; What seems to go unspoken is that numismatics could get a lot cheaper in a recession at the time bullion prices go significantly higher.&nbsp; One may want to have an exit strategy out of bullion and into numismatics in the future at much better comparative values than exists in the two sectors today.&nbsp; More numismatics could be melted inadvertently in the process, as before, thereby helping drive numismatic prices up again to even new heights.&nbsp; Markets move up and down.&nbsp; Not suggesting everyone become a trader, but nice to catch intermediate to long-term trends.&nbsp; Personally, I just don&#039;t have the time remaining or stomach for riding out twenty year bear markets, on the long side.&nbsp; Not sure simply leaving it all to the next of kin to sort out is the compelling answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Willie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
