<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 6569935, member: 103207"]Prices for coins started to drop about 15 years ago. Some kept their value and some didn't. I think there were a lot of coins that were over priced and because of this people started to sell them. This was a correction that takes place every now and then. Some truly rare coins also took a hit but, over time those will recover. I have a few in my collection by todays standards I way over paid for. However, I'll sit on them for now and hope the prices recover. A similar thing happens to most collectables. Antique cars have taken a major hit. 30 to 50 percent on average. Back in the 70 and 80's cars from the 50's were very hot. Us baby boomers were the one's buying them. Now we're retiring and dyeing off and our kids aren't interested in cars like we were. They still have a good market but, you'll be lucky to break even.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
