<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 146700, member: 4552"]The more this hobby gets going, the more opinions there will be as to the value of any coins. You'll notice that not long ago there were few books on coins around. Now, as with any hobby, as the popularity increases, so does the books, magazines, web sites, etc. As and if the hobby starts to slag, so does the amount of these documents. The prices of coins are purely up to who wants them, how many want them, how many were made, how many may still be out there, possible future of the hobby and just a lot of guess work. For example the 2007 Red Book came out months ago with prices that were outdated by the time the first issue was baught. For prices I don't think anyone really knows what some coins are worth today, tomorrow or a few years from now. Stamp collecting fizzeled back when I was a kid. Beany babies just went down the drain. Hardly any one is selling those little Hot Wheel or other brand cars any more. And remember baseball and football cards. My son used to have thousands of them worth millions to him. Now I think he gave them to someone for nothing. I'm still waiting for the antique roadshow to explain coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
