<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 20896072, member: 13650&quot;]Anybody feel like they&#039;re noticing inflation creeping into coin prices these days?&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m finding coins listed for 20% more to double price guide values more than I used to now.&nbsp; It&#039;s not even surprising anymore. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; It doesn&#039;t seem to matter if looking at MS or beat up &quot;G&quot; examples.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I was just at a show and was considering a piece a dealer had and thought the &quot;in person price&quot; would be really good.&nbsp;&nbsp; I inspected the piece closely and had 300 to 350 in my mind and the guy said he&#039;d need 500 for it.&nbsp; &nbsp; I passed on it.&nbsp; &nbsp; The show was extemely busy and I saw a lot of cash changing hands.&nbsp;&nbsp; Was checking out a graded $10 gold indian and by the time I made it back around the room it was gone.&nbsp; Hard to imagine how much business was done in 8 hours there.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; We all know groceries have gone through the roof.&nbsp; To me it seems like a little bit of this is creeping into the coin markets lately too.&nbsp;&nbsp; You could say this isn&#039;t the best time to be buying, but then you ask yourself, what will that coin cost to acquire in 10 years?&nbsp; Could inflation have more of an upward pressure on coin prices than actual scarcity or demand? </p><p>&nbsp; Some of you may have seen the large cent I posted in the other thread.&nbsp; There was no &quot;deals&quot; to be had on that one.&nbsp; &nbsp; I thought mabye they&#039;d be willing to budge, $50, maybe $20.&nbsp; Nope.&nbsp; No negotiation.&nbsp; Buy it or leave it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; It took me a long time to finally come around and buy that.&nbsp;&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t like there was another one there or anywhere around to go try and get.&nbsp; Supply and demand, and inflation I suppose.&nbsp; &nbsp; Since 2010 that example has basically doubled in price.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Half cents same deal.&nbsp; Up up and away.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I&#039;m talking about some pretty obscure pieces too.&nbsp;&nbsp; A lot of people will just buy a readily available liberty seated dime and call it good.&nbsp; But say you want an early no drapery version?&nbsp; &nbsp; You&#039;d think the demand would be less but it must be there.&nbsp; Same with half dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
