<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fivespot, post: 308806, member: 11494&quot;]Hey everybody. I&#039;m new to this forum, but I&#039;ve been collecting coins for a few years now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve got a question for some seasoned-coin collectors though: what&#039; going on with the census numbers for modern US coins?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, I see the gold buffalo coins that just came out for 2006 and 2007...well, the amount of coins in MS70 are just crazy! I can&#039;t find the official census figures on NGC&#039;s web site, but I see people on ebay selling them, some offering 100 coins graded in MS70 in a single auction!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was so happy when the US Mint came out with buffalos in 2006 thinking, wow...here&#039;s my chance to start a really nice collection from the first year! Only now, I see last year--and also this year--are only worth their proverbial weight in gold because there&#039;s just too many of them!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I look at silver eagle sets minted in ms70 and from 1986 to present, it looks like those sets are worth over $40,000!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So my question is, why are so many people grading coins now...why were there such low census figures 20 years ago and now today the market seems saturated?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does anyone know of any new modern coins the mint may be coming out with that everyone and his brother WON&#039;T send out for grading?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
