<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2150775, member: 72818&quot;]Might be due to more collectors --and certainly due to easier access to various markets for buyers and sellers. None-the-less, I notice, even after adjusting for inflation over the years, various coins seem to have dropped in price---and I&#039;m sure that the opening of the iron curtain and extensive use of improved metal detectors have had their effect both in reducing prices and adding to the overall inventory and satisfying demand a bit more. Even so, the total number of those collecting Ancients is still miniscule compared to all other areas of coin collecting. I keep hearing that the total number of Ancient coins that survived to the present is comparable to the number of Ancient collectors ---less than 1% of the respective totals of all Ancient coins produced and all numismatists actively collecting in the market----so demand for quality coins will probably remain high, if a bit trendy. Obviously, the demand for lower graded coins is somewhat weaker and probably always will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
