<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 1831427, member: 54140&quot;]I can see where YOC is coming from and his line of thinking does make sense. IOM you make an interesting point but I don&#039;t think your argument falls into line with what YOC is discussing. The example you gave is a rare coin. The more rare a coin is and the &#039;hype&#039; around a coin will drive the price upward. Coins like the EID MAR, your Aureus, the Syracusean dekadrachm, or the Titus Colleseum Sestertius won&#039;t see drastic decreases in price because they are &#039;holy grails&#039; in Ancient coin collecting. They will generally rise steadily unless a hoard is found.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I believe YOC is discussing is that coins in the $100 - $500 range will decrease in price once older collectors pass on and their collections enter the market. It will probably be a very brief decline and once those coins disappear again the prices wills stabilize. You two are arguing two different sides of the spectrum IOM is the incredibly high end where most of us collectors will never get to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am considered a &#039;young&#039; collector at 25. I can see more people getting into collecting at a later age like has been said. We are playing &#039;what if&#039; with prices. I am not going to lie if prices go down a little bit I won&#039;t mind all too much <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I still have a solid 50+ years of collecting ahead of me.</p><p><br /></p><p>And Steve don&#039;t tell them about us crazy Canadians how are we supposed to take over the world if they all know about us![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
