Message:: [QUOTE="Spider, post: 956454, member: 2596"]I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on the current coin market. We had that thread not too long ago concerning purchasing power in the recession and how it is affecting your collecting and I wanted to expand that into something else. Do you guys feel that now is the time to stock up on those more expensive coins that you have always wanted but could never afford? I collect very few modern sets but have noticed that many keys are going well below what they were a year ago. I have seen major dips in the reverse proofs as well as coins like the 95-W ASE; however, it seems to me that these coins have bottomed out and are once again on the rise. Not too long ago I was able to end my hunt for the AGE reverse proof. I ended up paying $2600 for a PCGS PF 70 (I know, I know about the 70 but for such a small premium I got the 70 over the 69). Now I see the same coin going for about 2900 to 3400 one month later. Is now the time to buy? I believe so myself and am now hunting down many keys I was  passing up only about one year ago.[/QUOTE]
