<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 26316940, member: 44106&quot;]I would say that in some cases, hoards have reduced the value of previously &quot;scarce&quot; and therefore expensive coins. Athenian tetradrachms were more expensive until a huge hoard from the Levant came onto the market - now a decent example can be had for $400-500. I think that the advent of metal detectors has also increased the supply of coins through hoards. This has made certain medieval and Roman coins more affordable as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the more recent increase in coin prices has come with the current geopolitical instability post-COVID and with the incoming American administration flipping the established global trade structure. This has increased prices for all types of collectibles, not just coins. I think more people are getting into them as investments to hold value as the US dollar is becoming a bit more devalued and people lose faith in stocks and more conventional investments. You can also see this in the higher gold price, which may also be impacting current solidii and aureii prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
