[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1429395, member: 4373"]Coin prices can go up and down - I guess it all comes down to just demand and supply at a particular time. For instance from my experience a Soviet 1980 in soft plastic sheet, not in hard plastic casing used to be as expensive as 200-300 dollars, way more than the hard plastic counterpart at around 30 dollars. These days, the prices have fallen down to 100 or so for the soft plastic and 50 for the hard plastic. At one stage, a seller was selling more than 40 of those mint sets at once. Price did deflate for a while. Another instance is a Russian bi-metal coin - can't remember what it was but when it was rumored that the mintage will be a lot smaller than what is going to be, prices went mad and I bought one as well. That can come down to hype which I fell for. Bought it at 30 or so and prices fell down to 5. On the other hand, the Chechen coin that I remember buying was around 40 or so and is still going around at that price. However in most cases, a lot of the coins that I did buy have risen in most cases. Japanese coin prices on the other hand still seem to be stagnant with the prices except exception UNC coins.[/QUOTE]
