So true. But you're leaving out the other half of the equation...... There are no buyers for all this inventory. So, the 'coin' equation for the Canadian market is: TMI + NB = CM where, TMI + too much inventory NB = no buyers and CM = C*appola market Edited by doubleeagle59 11/10/2017 7:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Quatchi Valued Member Canada 228 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 3:04 pm It is indeed a great time to be a collector! On the other side of the coin, from an investment standpoint, coins that I've purchased over the last 10 years have depreciated a fair bit. However, I've always approached coin collecting as being a hobby far above being an investment. I only buy coins that I like, that way if the coin market temporarily tanks (like any other market), I'm still generally happy with what I've bought. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 9:42 pm It all depends on what you collect... I can't find the stuff that I collect at any discount... Used to pick off Canadian Large Cent 1859 9 over 6 in VF-EF for $200-$300...haven't seen one in YEARS How about a really cheap 1906 25 Small crown in VG+ or 1858 10c 8/5 in VF+ ? Anyone wanna sell one even at 50% of trends? I think it's all about what you collect... Lets face it...most people dont collect quality or rarity and if you collect generic "crap"...that's the stuff that goes to 0 in a bad market... Interesting that someone mentioned Newfoundland coins...my Newfoundland coins are flying off the shelves! Edited by canadian-varieties 11/12/2017 9:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Its a more arduous process but its also the most accurate IMO. Ya that is what I am finding too. A much better reference I think. Although what is not shown is how many of the same coin were/are for sale. That would be a helpful number to have because then you can see there was one sale at a list price which is good, but there were 20 other coins of the same grade sitting there not being sold.
