Peace Dollars, silver rise, & binions

Hello,

I have a question for the experts (since I am a coinfool--seriously). First, being theoretical, what if the rise in silver continues to unheard of prices? How would this effect the collecting of silver coins? Would you still collect that Morgan that you would originally been willing to pay $2000 for, for $4000? What if it continued to rise? Would there be a point where you would throw in the towel and wait it out, or keep collecting hoping for even higher prices?

Second, do you ever think that Peace dollars will ever be a very popular coin-- generally accepted (Peace lovers don't be offended, I love the Peace dollar)? I know it is generally accepted, but it appears to be treated like the morgan's boring, daft cousin. It doesn't seem to have that ooomph that a morgan does. For example, even well-circulated common morgons holds more value that the same grade of Peace dollar (common dates)

Third, do you ever think that the Ted Binion Collection of Silver dollars, (graded exclusively by NGC, in their "historical slab), will be of any collectible value over their counterparts. Will its history and uniqeness win some stature to Morgan and Peace collectors?? Could there ever be a time where the Peace dollar will surpass the morgan (blasphemy) as the silver dollar of choice. Sorry for all the questions.

Peace,

coinfool

P.S. It's been a long time since I've been here--hello!

  • Bump. It may be a boring question, but I truly curious. If I'm saying something that's obviously dumb, then let me know (but ever so gently)
