[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 5243934, member: 77704"]Inflation is to blame. In 1967 (Canada) you could buy a fully loaded 67 Corvette 427/435HP engine for $6K/ today a 2020 goes for 110K! A house that sell today for 1million went for 15K. You could buy a Coke for 5cents. Our Dollar was a "Silver Dollar". The 67 Centennial AV 20 Dollar Proof coin had 1/2 oz. gold.! In 1932/ you could trade a $20 bill for a Double Eagle/oz gold coin. In 2020 you pay almost 100/ 20 bills for an oz. of gold. I bought my house for $180K in 1990/ now houses on our street sell for 1.2 M+ However, rare collector coins are going up even more then inflation:(:(:(:(:(:( In 2010 I had ten coins in my coll. worth more then 10K. presently/ I have 200 worth more/ but this is not helping me/ since I am not selling/ but buying.
