<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 666979, member: 112&quot;]Neither am I. I am merely posting what I know to be true. But consider that when I made my comments about the history of the value of these coins it was in was response to this - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is a completely different scenario than what you are now talking about. Sure, if you buy coins in bulk now and then try to sell them individually within a few weeks or even a few months you are probably going to make a buck or two. </p><p><br /></p><p>But as more and more people become educated about these coins and realize that they have little or no numismatic value, and as the populations for the slabbed versions increases daily, then the prices for the slabbed versions are pretty much doomed to do nothing but go down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Changes like that do not ocurr in a few weeks or months. But wait two years or more and the changes are all too easy to see. Unfortunately so are your losses.</p><p><br /></p><p>You gotta remember folks, until 2000 very, very few people would ever bother having these bullion coins slabbed. So the populations for these coins was way low. But then a lot of newbies came into the hobby because of the State Quarter program. And they had little if any understanding of the coin market. So prices for these slabbed coins started out way up there. And soon a lot of people began to submit them for slabbing. Then they actually increased for a bit. Then the dealers discovered that the newbies would buy these and the submissions skyrocketed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately for those bought them at thos einflated prices, the popularity of and the number of coin forums was also increasing at the same time. And people soon began to find out that the values for these coins was falsely inflated and the bottom dropped out of the market for them. It has been dropping ever since. And with the mintages for these coins growing larger almost every year, and the submission numbers still increasing and thus the population numbers increasing, the values for the slabbed versions can do little but continue to go down until they reach a parity with the raw versions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
