<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Market Harmony, post: 680957, member: 20154&quot;]Ok, thanks to everyone for the consideration of my question.&nbsp; But I&#039;d like to reference the above response for further discussion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are some minds that like just the plain commodity, and then there are those that like coins.&nbsp; Those that get into the physical commodity will most likely, IMO, also move into coins... first for the bullion value (like roosevelt dime) and then into numismatics (like Morgans).&nbsp; But those that are only into numismatics, may only use bullion as a diversified investment.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would speculate that as more people get into silver bullion investment, then the progression of interest will lead to numismatics.&nbsp; I would also think that there would be a significant delay of silver price peak to the peak in interest for numismatics... perhaps a year or so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m trying to picture the scenario in my mind:&nbsp; </p><p>- Silver goes up and catches many people&#039;s attention and they start to invest in the bullion products.&nbsp; </p><p>- Some will only trade paper, but others will take physical possession.&nbsp; </p><p>- As a whole, those that take physical possession will find it difficult to acquire everything that they want, and will look for substitutes, such as junk 90%.&nbsp; </p><p>- As the price continues to rise, the supplies dwindle, but the interest will not decline.&nbsp; This is the point when I think numismatics will begin to see increased interest.&nbsp; </p><p>- Being that numismatics hold their value and are not affected drastically by the underlying metal spot price, even more interest will come when gold and silver reaches a peak and begins to steadily decline in price.&nbsp; </p><p>- People will sell their physical bullion and move into the numismatics for which they have been steadily acquiring a taste.</p><p>- Then, as more people see that numismatics are increasing in price, they could begin bidding up the prices even more... especailly when they see the metal prices continue to fall.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is just my speculative prognosticating, and perhaps I&#039;m painting too rosy of a picture of a potential scenario.&nbsp; But, I do think that there is going to be some kind of relationship between commodity price and numismatic price.&nbsp; Albeit, it will not be directly correlated on a simultaneous basis.&nbsp; In my scenario, there will be a delay... like overlapping sine waves of different amplitude and frequency[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
