<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ana Silverbell, post: 3884909, member: 75156&quot;]I agree that there are more collectors. At least that is the conventional wisdom: the State Quarter program, <i>etc.</i>, got more people interested in collecting. These new collectors, by and large, are not interested in Capped Bust half dollars, Seated Liberties, or varieties; they buy modern commemoratives or issues from various mints because they look cool they look &quot;new.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The ASE 2019 Enhanced Reverse Proof is a good example. A person bought a 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof ICG PR70, for ~ $1,700 on eBay. Yes, &quot;ICG.&quot; Now I am not as negative on ICG as most but if I had $1,700, I would be scouring through the Capped Bust half dollars and other early American coinage for that nice, original coin with eye appeal. A modern PF70 is just boring to me (I guess I am not adapting) but others like them.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is: if money is flowing to these modern issues (even from older collectors), the U.S.classic coin market will fall and soften, as it has done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
