<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1227516, member: 29012"]Comic books at $3.99 don't exactly make my day, but I wouldn't be a serious coin collector if not for the expectation of an increase in value, or more accurately the expectation of a loss in fiat purchasing power since that is what has happened consistently the last 100 years. Metal is shiny and cool to look at it, and I do like the designs, but it doesn't do much else for me besides provide peace of mind. I guess that makes me more of an investor than a collector when it comes down to it. Although I consider myself a hybrid in that regard. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that the debt ceiling announcement is what caused the drop in dollar denominated metals today, but I don't think that will stop Moody's from downgrading as they've stated they will even if the debt ceiling is raised. When that happens I wouldn't be surprised to see another week like last week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
