<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1676273, member: 42034&quot;]I&#039;d have to agree with Doug here.&nbsp; Not about the fakes but about demographics.&nbsp; While everyone can say they know of 1 Black collector of pre-1834 gold coins, the fact is, if you go to a typical coin show and see a room of 500 people, at least 99% will be white.&nbsp; With the white population dying out in this country (cross-over date is 2043) how many other races will pay you $85,000 for your semi-common 1836 silver dollar?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is also why I moved to collecting foreign coins: particularly those from&nbsp; Latin America, back in the 1990&#039;s.&nbsp; There are still some US coins that I&#039;d love to buy but the investors have got &#039;em up to such high levels.&nbsp; For example, buying a decent (AU grade) 1776 Continental Dollar, without considering the investment aspects of it, would be foolish for many of us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
