where are all the great looking coins?

remember 1989? remember 500 dollar 65 morgans or 6000 dollar type date barber halves in 65? or how about 3,500 dollar type seated 65 quarters, more expensive then? yes, but rhere sure seamed to be alot more really great looking ones for sale back then [at prices i couldn't afford] but now that eve grey sheet bid levels are reasonable, the people who baught those coins for 3 or 4 times more than they bid at now don't want to sell there best pieces to me at todays price levels!!! whats wrong wih those stingy people!!!
The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    I think they are in an "Eastern Collection". image Right, michael?

    Seriously, I think the best coins just get spread around thinner and thinner, making them harder to locate when they are for sale.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    The majority of them are probably in oldtimers' collections. Spread the nice coins around and open the market up, oldtimers!image If they're hoping to recover the prices they paid, then they'll never sell them.

    I may not know where they ARE, but I can assure you they aren't in MY vault!
