well...

Let me say...this...

I am not down or negative on coin collecting. I HATE to be negative! Where I am worried about are both new and old collectors, who are going to, in a sense, is collectors getting discouraged from seeing coins drop.. and not realizing they can get 2 coins now for the price of one.


I think thats where my worry is. I think in some ways, if you are just starting to collect or been holding out.. this is a good time period to start. I like the dropping prices, I have picked up a few coins I wanted. But I also have in the back of my mind to be more patient...to get the best price.

But I go back to my earlier thought, that collectors both new and old will get discouraged from picking up right out the gate new mint releases. It reminds me of another hobby I am in. A certain company releases the collectible item at their suggested retail price. Dealers offer their price. What has happened tho in about 4 years of this line being in existence is that in the secondary market, prices drop by 30-40% and even dealers slash prices by 40-50% after 2 years or so.

So what has happened? The line, sure it is has a collector base but there isn't a lot of enthusiasm and collectors simply sit back for prices to drop. Others have decided to throw in the towel and arent interested in the product line anymore. A fatigue has set in.

I think lower prices across the board by the RCM and other world mints would bring back collectors and get them to open up their wallets.

Finally, Silver Don, I do agree with you last comments. It does seem like when Silvertowne really started to slash their prices on these coins they really started to move.

A difference in opinion is considered whining? I thought this was a discussion forum where people can freely express their thoughts. You don't have to agree with everything said.

I know,,, man... just because I have an opinion doesn't mean I have to be told to stop. Its not like I am being mean about it either.

Again, I am ALL for coin collecting. I do NOT feel the hobby is dying but I do have concerns for hobbyists who are entering and are already collecting and are TIRED of seeing prices drop.

A hobby means you are using discretionary income, that in turns you have set aside X amount of dollars in some cases, tho coins are many times an impulse item. In any case, if you are finding you are over paying for items and not paying a fair amount price, thats going to get really old over time. There will be discouragement.

Hey, I hope I am WRONG in thinking that we have fatigue. I hope I am proven wrong and that folks dont get fatigued. I care about this hobby a lot. I would have a lot of regret if I didnt speak my mind on the negative things.

Thanks Yingyang

For those that took advantage of the 2013 Red Enameled 2013 $20 silver coin a few months back, I just noticed that silvertowne have the 2014 green enameled one on sale for $47.95 (wire/c-card) - with free shipping. Granted the exchange rate blows these days - but it beats the mint's price all to bits of $114.95

I just received my Bison portrait coin from Silvertowne. It took about a week, and the shipping to Canada was free. Also, because the coin is silver I paid no duty and no taxes on the coin. I also did not have to pay any brokerage fees. I am now thinking about picking up a few more things from Slivertowne.
