<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daniel M. Ryan, post: 1244467, member: 32253&quot;]I don&#039;t mean to shift the subject, but that&#039;s what I&#039;m keeping my eye out for - not as a coin collector, but as a bullion investor. Every time I go down to the main bullion seller in my home town of Toronto (Scotiabank / Mocatta), I ask the security guard and/or a clerk how big the line-ups have been. Once they get really large, I figure, it&#039;s time for me to seriously consider bailing out. </p><p><br /></p><p>So far, despite the hoopla over gold and silver, the lines haven&#039;t been that long. The precious metals aren&#039;t at the bubble stage yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s something to watch for even as a coin collector. Should gold and silver go into bubbles - I&#039;m sure they will - and the bubbles then burst, there&#039;ll be some incredible bargains in gold and silver coins. More so for the rarities, whose premiums tend to expand in precious-metal bull markets and shrink in bear markets - even more so if the burst bubble coincides with a(nother) serious recession. The trouble is, an asset that&#039;s been wrecked by a burst bubble take years to recover - like housing now - so buying at that time would have to be for love, not profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the special kind of regret that comes with hindsight, I realize that I could have been chasing some beauties on eBay in November of &#039;08.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
