very interesting! I thought the vintage market was starting to show some life...
i talked to a few dealers and they said its on the decline and that there not paying much over melt ( unless its a rarity ) fwiw
So are you expecting any resurgence during 2019 or do you think the market will get worse?
Decreasing. No one wanted the few I brought to the Dalton BRNA if that is any indication.
Whoops! Meant to post this to the modern poll. (pay attention nest time).

No problem! any thoughts on the vintage side of the market?
Better date gold steady to increasing, common dates decreasing with gold prices and greater availability. Silver don't really follow the market so no opinion.

When you say "better date" what do you mean exactly? Also, has the Vintage market been negative and recently getting better or has steadily been better?
For the most part declining with a few exceptions !!!
Vintage is the wrong term. Common date vintage gold bid is below melt. The issue is better dates versus common dates, no matter how "vintage".
I think it's a rebound effect of eBay. eBay allowed people to sell millions of pieces of junk as "PQ". I have always thought if people ever figured that out, the musical chairs would stop, and we'd have an issue. Guess what?
BTW...every piece that is actually PQ gets run up (except maybe commems).
What is a vintage coin?
Questions like this really amuse me...…….like who is keeping score...….and can they be trusted????!!!
The way I sees it the precious metals market is on the decline with lowering prices. So, for that reason I see gold and silver coins on the rise as better prices can be had. That along with a strong dollar. Just my take on it.
Prices have dropped on most everything I have.
Common date old gold, continues to go down...part do to gold price, but in general seems to be very limited interest
As the population ages all collectibles decline in appeal/demand.
Youngin’s are only interested in traveling and screens.
Time to look for good deals. Harder to find on the really good ones though.
This is a duplicate thread.... I voted in the same one earlier today....

I voted decreasing.
For things that are increasing, my general impression is interest in modern artisan / boutique bullion is going up.
When I say better date I'm specifically thinking about $5 libs that have been on my watch/want list for 35-40 years, 1839-C&D, 1842, 1847-O 1856-O, 1857-O, 1860-D, 1861-D, 1862 through 1866 P & S mints, 1870-CC and about 25 others. They seem to bring somewhat stable or higher prices when I see them in various auctions.
When I think vintage gold I think classic gold or pre 1933.

One that has been stored in an oak barrel for a few years.

As per @Ronyahski, define vintage
increase/decrease over what time period using what previous time period as a base?.
In what grades?
CAC or not, dreck or just-miss?
We all have some conclusions to share, but I still don't know what series are vintage so I will curmudgeonly mosey along
All pre-1839 wholesome quality (whether CAC or not) are definitely on an uptrend.
Damaged 1792 half-dismes are increasing in value, Damaged Chain Cents continue their slide.
And, in other late-breaking news, Generalissimo Franco is still dead.
Very interesting question which I have wondered about. I would vote decreasing based on the decline in the prices on PCGS. My one thought, besides the decrease in gold/silver bullion prices, are the younger generations less interested in collecting (anything old) versus electronics. I have many nephews/nieces and none are interested in our family heirlooms. So that kind of relates to the question. As the old fogies such as me are selling (not me) their collections, are the buyers maybe the mid-generations and less demand. For me I do not care about passing on my collection, the price I am buying at now is of interest though. I used to collect graded proof coins of 1950-1965 or so, however, ended up selling the collection when I got bored of it. I now only collection Morgan dollars because I really like the detail and design. When I pass on to wherever, my collection will go to my nephew. However, I have had a little foresight and stored a present day price list for comparison. But for now, I have really been thinking about what is happening to the hobby (investment). I am not really into the investment end as the coins I buy are far from high end.
