<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 834167, member: 68&quot;]There are lots&nbsp; of reasons that moderns simply aren&#039;t comparable to pre-&#039;65 or pre-1950 issues.&nbsp; The older coins are very unlikely to see large changes in supply and demand.&nbsp; Sure there are exceptions in some of the high grades that never got much attention before but these are maturing markets now.&nbsp; People have been chasing things like full step nickels and gem silver quarters for nearly a quarter decade now so there aren&#039;t a lot of big surprises in these areas any longer.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Moderns still tend to be terra incognita.&nbsp; Demand for most still tends to be very low or spotty at best.&nbsp; New issues get a lot of attention but it seems to fizzle out in a few years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have some doubts about the sustainability of many prices and I&#039;ve sat back and watched them crash in the past but not all of them.&nbsp; I never imagined Morgans for instance could keep such a grip on the market.&nbsp; While the prices of commoner pieces crashed in &#039;90 and never recovered the scarcer coins just keep plowing on ahead.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no accounting for taste.&nbsp; To each his own.&nbsp; In the long run it&#039;s usually rarity in one form or another that wins out but that doesn&#039;t mean rare trade tokens might be the next area to explode.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
