<p>[QUOTE="pnightingale, post: 1271299, member: 32585"]While I would feel bad for the people losing money, as a <i><b>coin collector </b></i>I am hoping that the downward trend in PM prices continues. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of silver coins which are worth less this week than last but I didn't buy them because of their melt value - I would be horrified at anyone melting down my beautiful collection of walkers. I paid on average about $7 each for them so these recent fluctuations don't worry me, I'm not looking to turn a quick buck - I collect them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I have opted out of collecting silver coins because of the feeding frenzy, base metal coins are just as worthwhile to me. If the price really tanks then I will take the opportunity to buy up some non-chinese dollars and Franklin / Barber halves. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let silver prices fall and let coin collecting return to the devoted hobbyist rather than the portfolio managers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
