Message:: [QUOTE="rrholdout, post: 2904950, member: 89654"]Great post, and in my opinion, dead-on. I've got several albums of those 80's/90's cards, very well cared for, and market-wise nearly worthless. With everyone and his dog having a few MS ASE's under their pillows, I think it's a bullion coin, a guaranteed ounce of silver, no more, no less. With a 'Walker' obverse, and 'Kennedy' reverse, it could have at least been original! Now if they immediately cut off production, and melted any reserves . . . that might be a different story. I have to agree with Baseball though that the coin/bullion market can and will grow. However it's a different crowd, mostly coming in from an investment angle, with limited interest in the encyclopedic knowledge a lot of the older collectors have. Though CT as a whole generally discourages coin collecting as an investment, that is the wrong move in my opinion as that is what can save the hobby. We should encourage every newbie to invest, and invest smartly, as it's self-fulfilling and the only thing that will keep coin values strong.[/QUOTE]
