<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susanlynn9, post: 18365, member: 1258&quot;]Realizing that I have only been watching the market for the last two years and most of my scope has been in the on-line auction venue, I have seen quite a bit of short-term fluctuation in the types of coins that collectors are buying, but the overall market has stayed relatively consistent (except for August which is just a bad month in everything on eBay). I think that new coins and new designs will continue to capture the collectors immediately after release and even for a little while following but I have not relied on the new designs or modern coinage as any kind of a mainstay. I still feel that the older designs and obsolete coinage will continue to maintain their place in the market. Many collectors that I have known throughout my life may have a collection or two of modern coinage, but I never spoke to one that wouldn&#039;t have loved to have a Colonial copper or 1700-1800 Bust coin of any denomination. There are definitely areas of the market that fluctuate on a regular basis, but I still believe in the &quot;oldies but goodies&quot;. Those markets are here to stay if for no other reason that the demand will always outweigh the supply (if you don&#039;t take the counterfeits into consideration&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Just my 2 cents worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
