<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2786889, member: 27832&quot;]It seems to me that this is the same question that we face in any other market -- is it a &quot;dip&quot;, or is this the new normal?</p><p><br /></p><p>During the big run-up in <i>silver</i> at the beginning of the decade, premiums for better types and dates shrank. You could often buy Barber dimes, quarters and halves for the same price as 1960s stuff. I tried to take advantage of that, choosing coins that were more likely to retain numismatic value if (or, as it turned out, <i>when</i>) the price of silver came back down. I feel like I came out a bit ahead by doing so.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if I&#039;d tried the same thing with gold, this article makes it look like I really <i>wouldn&#039;t</i> have come out ahead very much -- at least not now. Will the premiums rebound? It&#039;s hard to say, but one thing seems clear: there isn&#039;t that much room for them to go further <i>down</i>. (Well, except on gold dollars and quarter eagles, I guess...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
