<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3081433, member: 44316"]Prices of coins that have gone up have gone up. That's a tautology. Prices of ancient coins in general have not gone up, certainly not relative to inflation. Here is a previous post of mine on why people think prices have gone up, and why they have not really gone up. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/page-2#post-2757236" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/page-2#post-2757236">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/page-2#post-2757236</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I started that thread entitled "prices can go down" with an example.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The other posts in that thread are relevant. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another thought.

[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3081433, member: 44316"]Prices of coins that have gone up have gone up. That's a tautology. Prices of ancient coins in general have not gone up, certainly not relative to inflation. Here is a previous post of mine on why people think prices have gone up, and why they have not really gone up. [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/page-2#post-2757236[/url] I started that thread entitled "prices can go down" with an example. [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-can-go-down.297348/[/url] The other posts in that thread are relevant. Here is another thought. I am copying this from an e-mail I wrote to a friend a year ago after he wrote me that prices seemed to be going up. "Personally, I do not think coin prices have gone up much, if at all. I do think the standards of new collectors go up over time, so the price of an Augustus they want goes up a lot. But is the higher quality that makes it look like the prices went up.
