Article: "Mistakes Of 1980 Again?"

Fads come an go you guys are right about that. But a rare gold or silver coin in real good condition that is, lets say 1 to 2 hundred years old or older, I think will always be viewed in high regards and hold some decent value. At Least by the remaining hardcore collectors that were in it well before it became the so called "in thing" to be investing in, an will be in it long after the economy recovers, if it ever does, and the "make a quick buck guys", have all moved on to greener fiat pastures. And even if G $ S pulls back multi hundreds, many will believe in their ability to repeat the climbs again in the future, and perhaps go beyond....

I agree 100% with this article. I appreciate silver as an investment but I think it the current fever is harming the hobby. I also think right now is a great time to buy key date non-PM coins as a long term investment.

I agree. In fact, the financial world is awash in things that fit into this description. It reminds me of all the people piling into US Treasuries as a "safe haven" after the US government debt was down-graded by S&P with a "negative watch" comment added to the downgrade. This means that they will evaluate the situation again in a year or so and could easily downgrade US debt even more at that time. This is not my idea of a safe haven.
