<p>[QUOTE="pairunoyd, post: 1464584, member: 17595"]You really think that the typical selling price would be $20-$30? Sounds low, but then again, Im new to this. But you also must remember what the value of the ms67 from 50 yrs ago was worth 50 yrs ago. $1.00? I dont know and even if it was one dollar, Im not sure that if something went up 30 times in value over a 50 yr period itd be considered a positive investment considering inflation. But if those coins are twice what you suggest, then maybe itd be a lot closer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ive just often wondered if buying a few boxes of the oldest and highest grade coins that are still reasonably priced (less than $100 each) and seem to be just below the escalating price trajectory of their nearest cousins and older brothers, would be a good idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, someone else said that Morgans and ancients are very different. Of course theyre different now, but what about when the Morgans too become ancient? I know its hard to believe, but if the world still exists 1500 years from now, they'll likely have plenty of other interests and coins to occupy them. And these future beings wont likely have the sentimental attachment to them as some of us might. I also do believe that the small number of ancient coin buyers is related to their level of ancient coin education. Im not saying theyre dumb because they dont know all the details about ancient coinage. It's just that their interests havent taken them there, being influenced to varying degrees by their environment and the interest of those around them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
