<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3753282, member: 8959&quot;]Lots of good comments here regarding the decline in prices. Thank you, all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a collector of early US coins, as well as ancients, 17th/19th century European and Latin American coins, I can tell you what some of you already know: U.S coins, are, (in my opinion), very&nbsp; if not vastly overpriced. And I say that even though I collect U.S coins which are probably not in the mainstream, and I full well understand the concept of supply and demand. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are far better values for me as a collector in the so-called &#039;World Coins&#039; area.</p><p>True rarities, with a keen collector following, but with earthly prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have done well with my U.S coins, at least in my opinion. I bought many of them a long time and have been fortunate spotting unrecognised rarities so that my overall balance after 30 years or more of collecting is positive. However, there is no way I would ever spend regular retail prices for U.S coins, the 1893-S Morgan, 1916 dime, 1877 cent, 1909-svdb, encapsulated top grade bust halves, to cite just a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, I am not sorry my 1877 IHC has dropped so much in value - it is probably valued still a bit beyond what it is worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
