No need to see it, we can all feel it!

Well, considering that most people feel sick and are profusely sweating while filling their vehicle at the gas pump probably has a new variant called CAROWNERVIRUS, that thread with the PSA was perhaps yanked.

Last I checked, this was the US COIN FORUM. If you want to talk about gas prices, go visit the Gas price discussion forum.

No sh$$$$ - just cost me 10$ to cut my grass today , couldn't even afford to travel the extra 10 miles to my Coin dealers shop. I'm sure he's hurting also, if you can't afford the necessities then you sure can't afford to buy coins.. My yard looks great but now I'm starving as I spent my food budget for the day on gas. Can't wait till the winter time heating bills wipe out my coin savings account.

Its all relevant - Some who "Have it" can't relate to those who are "Scraping by"

How long before we have to sell our coins to survive? As of today, there's "NO END" in sight to this mess!!

I have to disagree. The much higher prices for the necessities of life such as fuel and food has a direct impact on the coin market. People are cutting back on buying coins in order to survive. In some cases people are selling coins to buy fuel and food and some people will be selling coins to pay to heat their homes this winter. Sad but true. The coin market will be impacted by the coming recession more so than other sectors of the economy because coins are a luxury and not a necessity of life.

I agree with @PerryHall ... Could be some bargains coming for those who have cash left after gas and food.... Cheers, RickO

Good point. There will be a lot of coins coming onto the market from collectors out of necessity trying to make ends meet. I saw this happen during past recessions.

I have to disagree (with you). It could be said that all sorts of things (such as the price of gold, the unemployment rate, interest rates, etc.) can have an impact on the coin market. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re on-topic for the U.S. coin forum. And if any topic that can have an impact on the price of coins is allowed, the forum could quickly become an open forum, as opposed to a U.S. coin forum.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I see plenty of topics here that aren't directly coin related and those topics are well tolerated since they are peripherally related to coins. It's funny that you mentioned "the price of gold" since the price of precious metals directly impact the price of many coins including new mint offerings.

I completely agree. More silver seems to be shows up in rolls from banks these days. People taking coins to banks (to make ends meet) they don't know are silver.

The shop I do business at is doing fine high price of gas notwithstanding. No hurting there that I can see. I'm seeing lots of great stuff coming into the shop these days that normally one wouldn't see in a year of visiting the shop on a once a week basis. So, I've upped the frequency of my visits to the shop to twice a week.Goes without saying that it's costing me twice as much in gas to do this.

If true, it may prove the hard times not refute it. When there are more sellers than buyers...

Nice bust coins, key dates, and just nice collector coins even if not worth a bundle being seen lately. I recently went through a fresh batch of "common, full date" Buffalo nickels at the shop and found ten 1931-S's in the herd, VG to VF condition. $.45 apiece.
