[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 26638720, member: 73489"]Many/most of the coins have never approached their 1989-90 Bubble Peaks. I don't think silver moved much during that time...it was ALL numismatic premium expansion. [B]Coin prices went up like 10-fold in 3 years all because certified/graded coins were allegedly going to be the target of Wall Street $$$. [/B] When that didn't happen, the prices collapsed 75-85% across the board. I would venture that most of them have never approached even their nominal prices from those years, even 36-plus years later. As an example.....an 1881-S Morgan SD in MS-65 saw a huge percentage drop but it was even extended to the somewhat rarer 66's and 67's.
