<p>[QUOTE="john59, post: 2113076, member: 73760"]Your doomsday scenario has been talked about for over 100 years. Coin and stamp collecting will survive it as it always has. In most part, come out ahead. All markets have corrections in values. To what extent? No one can tell. But they all seem to come back stronger. As for the modern coins now, those we know are inflated by the dealers. You can't blame the US mint because they're competing with the world now. A lot of people look at the Morgan silver dollar, which is probably one of the most collected coins, say they're nice but the younger generation might have one in their collection compared to hundreds of the new coins from the US and the world. They're different and not all the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>As in all collectibles, rarities will always hold their value.
