Message:: [QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1296702, member: 23885"]For sure the shift with online.  I had a great time at my first coin show today, and picked up 6 nice coins, but I have probably picked up 100 online.  Right now I can plug in barber quarter, and see there are 3,800 on ebay.  I can also check ebay pulse and see accurate market prices.  The coin show today was great for networking, but there was an instance where I wanted to pick up some bullions, and out of courtesy I stood to the side for 20 minutes, while a big deal was negotiated.  I was also surprised by the lack of PCGS slabbed coins.  I guess shopping online gave me false expectations.  I will typically only buy slabbed coins, but nothing I bought at the show today was slabbed. (It was the 2nd day).  Now don't get me wrong, I had a great time at the show, and met some really cool people, as well as getting some nice coins.  On the other-hand the convenience wasn't there, and I drove an hour and a half to get there.  On another note, I am no expert on coins, but I am an aspiring economist, and economics major.  In the opinion of some, silver has just not been marketed like gold has.  We believe that the silver boom is just starting, and although gold might rise a bit more as insurance against inflation; that silver will be the better long term investment.  I know everyone says GOLD GOLD GOLD, but when the economy collapses the buyers market for gold won't be as strong as the buyers market for silver, because it is viewed as a stronger hedge against inflation.  On another note I think big investors will come around to silver and spot price will rise.  Blah Blah Blah, sorry for the rant.  I know there were a lot of " I thinks" in there, but I have nothing better to do. =[][/QUOTE]
