<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8177284, member: 118780&quot;]While I agree that prices have been increasing at the high end, I&#039;m not as convinced the ancient coin market in general is going crazy. I&#039;ve purchased several coins for roughly what someone else paid for them ~20 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even at the very high end, I wonder whether too much attention is being paid to statistical outliers and not to the market in general. Several collectors with deeper pockets than I have related stories here of buying coins for far less than they sold for decades ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>My suspicion is ancient coin prices rise and fall as both new hoards are found and as public opinion changes. For example, the trend right now is for coins in the best condition possible. Even common coins in mint state are receiving strong bids. Some time ago, though, rarer coins were the rage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
