<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1236005, member: 26302&quot;]Personally, to the extent I am seeing US pricing, I am seeing a lot of softness of traditional collector coins. Just my impression, but unless its a coin that can be slabbed high grade, (for the issue), or a &quot;key&quot; they seem weak. It just feels like a lot of interest in bullion, and high grade coins for NGC or PCGS bragging rights, but the run of the mill collector isn&#039;t buying like they used to. When I bum around local shows looking to buy something, I get offered a lot of great coins at discounts to CDN.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like the economy, it just feels the &quot;middle class&quot; coins are getting squeezed, but the upper end of the market seems to be doing fine. My question is that if up and coming collectors aren&#039;t there, who will be the buyers of these &quot;investment&quot; coins in the future? In the end, any coin is only ever worth over melt or face value from a collector. All the &quot;investors&quot; are doing is assuming a collector will be willing to pay more than they paid at some point in the future. If the collectors never demand these coins, what will that do to the &quot;investors&quot;?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
