<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 833851, member: 16994"]My cut off was more directed at the end of the silver dollars... Maybe also including high end walkers. To answer your question honestly there aren't too many. To me these are 2 completely different markets. The market for graded modern bullion coins is very volatile with large swings up... and eventually down... while the classic coin market is much more stable and much less volatile. The volatility is caused by a few things. The perceived rarity of these coins. Whether they are truly rare or not is for another thread. Also registry set fever has caused a lot of these coins in top pop to get expensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>Classic coins move up and down as well... of course... but baring a complete financial disaster I don't see them EVER moving as quickly as these modern pieces. The collector coin market is more "slow and steady wins the race". The truly rare coins continue to make modest gains... but still gain over time. One day the bottom is going to fall out of the modern coin market like many other markets before it. If you are a student of the history of the coin market you have seen it many times before in many different parts of the market... lots and lots of people have lost a lot of money in the coin market... and a very few people have made a lot of money in the coin market. I would keep this in mind before spending the kind of money we are talking about here on ANY coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
