They do their best to secure great results for their consignees, but that is good business strategy.</p><p>The market trends for high quality, rare coinage are a result&nbsp; of many factors. </p><p>1/ Low supply for ever increasing demand.</p><p>2/ Average people have more disposible income for luxary items.</p><p>3/ Fear factor, many see precious metals/ coins as the only real $$$$. Cryto-currencies/ plastic/ paper are not backed by anything of value. Before, 1933 one could redeem a US $100 bill for gold/ silver coins of equal value.</p><p>4/ Sheer pleasure of collecting coins/ sure beats walking around like a zombie glued to your phone<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
