<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 394564, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;ve also thought that could be a possibility.&nbsp; Because now there&#039;s a huge selection of anything you could want, but the internet is also catering to millions of collectors around the world.&nbsp; Which leads to many more people fighting for coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think Ebay can be a valuable tool for just watching coins go and see what people are willing to pay.&nbsp; I watched an NGC,&nbsp; MS-61&nbsp; 1878-CC Morgan with great eye appeal, go last night for 193.00.&nbsp; Nobody bid on it within the last few hours.&nbsp; It ended there.&nbsp;&nbsp; The red book prices them higher.&nbsp; NGCs price guide prices them higher, but Ebay is like a real time price guide.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; The info available now is incredible.&nbsp; If anything, if people really want to,&nbsp; it&#039;s easier to get well educated, faster than at any time in history.&nbsp; IMO, this applies to all hobby forums and info online.&nbsp; If you&#039;re willing to search and read.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; I was out of the hobby for 14 years, and never really learned much to begin with.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m not boasting or anything but I was amazed at how easy it was to get caught back up on what&#039;s going on and learning everything back.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mainly thanks to the internet and help from this forum.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; The one coin shop within 20 miles of me closed up when I was a kid.&nbsp; Now, there&#039;s a couple antique malls around that do not specialize in coins and that&#039;s it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Have to drive 60 miles to find a shop.&nbsp; The only one I&#039;ve been to had a decent selection but was very disorganized.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m probably the only one in my town that collects so forums like this really make the hobby more enjoyable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
