<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1251808, member: 25270"]Yes, in this case every customer in there was selling gold. That seemed a little unusual but I guess because the price has been going up so much lately anyone who still has spare gold is selling it. I live in an area with lots of jewelry stores and cash for gold places so I'm a little surprised that non-collectors would take their jewelry to the coin shop though. But I digress. When I see people buying silver, they are usually buying bullion coins, while a lot of people are selling real coins. I don't think that does much for the hobby either, and if you are a collector it doesn't make sense to buy silver coins for your collection now because you're paying a bullion premium, which only makes sense to pay if you are investing and hoping to sell for more down the road. But I can stay at the coin shop for two hours and be the only customer actually buying coins, and that's what bothers me. I'm not trying to judge anyone, but for me that's not what the hobby is about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
