<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2931660, member: 15199"]IMO, there was a shift in the coin market. In the past coin people used knowledge and experience to buy and sell to increase their wealth. Then with the TPG, they didn't have to have much of either, they just went by the labels. Checking the auction sites and trying to "FLIP" ~ The Fword of coin collecting~ to obtain their riches which they felt due to their "being in the right place with the right coin at the right time". I think the true coin market ( non-slabbed) is down because of this. Many older varieties are down as most new collectors are satisfied with the multitude of new single squeeze stuff, that they don't spend on the older traditional ones. Some people like to swim races sharks but they know better than to get in the same lanes. There are a lot of sharks out there, so pick a different lane unless you are one heck of a super swimmer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
