<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Danr, post: 254196, member: 3715&quot;]Ok coins and the stock market, I will just think out loud on this. it occurs to me that the coin market is a tiny market that is subject to much greater manipulation. The simple presence of HSN selling coins is some thing that moves the market. All I&#039;m saying is that a small player like HSN can send real ripples through the coin market.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;As I see it when money leaves stocks it does not rush into rare coins (sorry to tell ya) I&#039;d say it goes into bonds, when big money is made on the stock market the coin market may get a blip (just like the fine art market). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say the presence of Ebay is way more important to the coin market than any other single factor, if there were an Ebay designed just for coins with lower transaction fees and coin experts policing ads for the stupid things we see on Ebay it would rock the coin market to the core and might send numismatic items lower.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other big thing in the coin market is TPG&#039;s especially PCGS (which oddly enough was started to &quot;trade coins like stocks&quot;) it never fufilled that mandate but it did give some security to neophite coin people, but more importantly they started keeping careful cencuses on coins that helped to determine rarity . Two effects of this: registry sets, and resubmissions. The resubmissions messed up their numbers a little and made a few people a lot of money based on PCGS&#039;s everchanging standards.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just a few random thoughts (as you can tell I am no expert).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
