<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2123209, member: 36864"]I believe that just about every modern coin is priced to the market now and will slowly level off at lower prices. We don't have to look too far back to see many examples of this. The gold JFK sold at stupid premiums and are now easily obtained rather cheaply, the gold first spouce coins came out, sold out in minutes, listed on eBay for double or more their issue price and now can be found for about spot price. The 1999 and 2001 stat quarter sliver proofs were overly expensive due to flippers and demand and now can be found for about a quarter of the price as just a few years ago. It's the old beanie baby market all over again for many coins that are supposed quick and long term flippers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do see a few exceptions to the rule. The 25th anaversary set, the 2009 high relief and a couple of others seem like they have plenty reason to sqwirl a few away. The 25th anaversary set is part of a very popular series and hada limited mintage and the high relief will likely benefit greatly by new releases.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me it's pretty clear that our hobby is full of let's say advanced age collectors and their collections could flood the market with all of this material in the next twenty years or so. For prices to continue to rise, the demand must be there which means that we will need more new collectors than we lose over the next couple of decades. Unless a wildly popular circulation series with the muscle of the state quarter series is released, I just can't see this happening.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not trying to discourage anybody here, this is just my view of the market as I see it in the next twenty or so years.
