<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2443108, member: 78153&quot;]There literally isn&#039;t a country in the world where the local population cannot afford to collect their local coinage at much higher prices in much larger numbers NOW, given the price level and supply.&nbsp; So more new millionaires is still irrelevant absent a cultural change except for pure random chance.&nbsp; If lack of money is the reason, why aren&#039;t more of those who can afford it doing so now?&nbsp; The reason is because they would rather spend their money on something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no comparability between art and coinage either, except maybe for a very low number of ultra elite coins (what most others term &quot;trophies&quot;).&nbsp; Most coins are mass produced while most art is not, certainly not high end.&nbsp; If Chinese or other foreigners pay a lot more for the coins at the very top of the preference scale, it will make no difference to others.</p><p><br /></p><p>In at least some instances, I also don&#039;t see that the most expensive coins - especially US - are competitive versus non-coin collectibles either.&nbsp;&nbsp; As an example, the most expensive coins are in some instances within the estimates I have seen for Russian Imperial Faberge Easter eggs which are held in much higher regard except by coin collectors.&nbsp; No coin is in the same league to an object like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
