[QUOTE="fivespot, post: 308818, member: 11494"]Thanks clembo! Well, for example there's a guy on ebay right now selling 10 MS70 buffalos for about $10,000. But I know for a fact in the summer time, there were sellers selling bricks of slabbed ms70 buffalos. Around $50,000 for a brick of 50, $100K for 100 slabbed coins. For some reason, NGC took down the population report for buffalos, but I do remember the numbers were so inflated, it seems like they'll never be worth more than their gold content. So aside from investing, what's the point of collecting them? The reason I ask this question is I look at a 1991 Silver eagle. In MS70, the coin is 1 in something like 60 according to the pop report. 1 in 60! So why are there thousands of buffalos and eagles in MS70 today? Has coin collecting really gotten that popular? What does this say about modern coin collecting?[/QUOTE]
