<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 101105, member: 112&quot;]I certainly agree that as the general knowledge of collectors increases that coins with original surfaces will become more widely sought after by collectors. And I rather doubt that opinions regarding cleaned coins will change any time soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what happens with silver or gold commems, in my opinion that will be entirely dependant upon how their popularity increases or decreases in the future. There is a large segment of the collecting community that do not even consider these issues as coins and treat them with disdain. </p><p><br /></p><p>The current popularity of modern commems is largely due to new collectors who believe that they can make money on the coins by buying from the mint and selling on the secondary market. And while this may seem to have been easy to do for the last 4 years or so, few of these new collectors are taking into account the fact that we have been in a bullish coin market and just about all coins have increased in value over that same time period. It really has nothing to do with the coins themselves - it has simply been the market trend. However, market trends inevitably change. And when they do, there&#039;s a lot of people who are going to be in for a big surprise.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to predict what coins are going to increase in crease in value over time - go with the basics and forget all the guessing games.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
