While it is perfectly fine to speculate as to the next penny movement in the price of a given metal. I for one believe that it(Speculation) has no bearing on the hobby or profession as there are few classic coins that experience great movement in value in relation to thier metals cost, all things being equal. I also realize the modern pundit will be grousing in response to this.

I would like to see speculation threads moved to the testing forum where they can be best apprecaited. After all aren't you the poster and his/her respondants just testing to see whether you should bull or bear in the next minute? If you still respectfully disagree please reply with the answer to the following questions:

1. How will the change in the metals price affect a) the value of a 1933 $20 Double Eagle, b) The value of the 1995 W SAE, and c) the value of a 1940 Jefferson nickle. (All should be considered AU - 55 graded or better)
2. How will the speculation in base metal prices change the population for the aforementioned coins.
3. At what point will the base metals price cause a change in the grade of any given coin?
4. How will the change in base metals price rewrite the history of classics and modern coinage (I am looking for design, mintage challenges, distribution woes, etc.).

Thanks all,

I think you're being too subtle. Went right over their heads.

Ok I will give it a shot...

1. a)No change b)With large price increases in silver, the price of the coins may rise. c) With large price increases in nickel, the price of the coins may rise.

2. Well, pops, or availability would most likely go down as holders of 1940 nickels hoard, and ignorant holders of 1995 w SAE's get melted down.

3. Never...however as I mentioned already, it can have effects on the price.

4. Well, nothing that happens in the future (or present) will re-write history ...including metal prices. It could very well effect mintages, and certianly prices, of future releases of GAEs and SAEs, as well as silver proof sets.
