A Collector's view...

Who really makes the Market..??
Is it the collectors..??..the Dealers..??..the Sellers..??..the Buyers..??...the Coins..??
What drives it to what it is..??..There are prices that rise and fall with collector wants or needs and then there are prices that rise due to publicity that have nothing to do with rarity of a coin.
Time plays an important factor with our hobby,that eventualy results in the overall stability.One needs to be careful not to jump into a deal where a flash will just fizzle out if your looking to make money.On the collector side there is.. time ...and it's always on your side....image

    What makes a market

    1.Collector demand

    2. A sufficient supply to
    allow active buying and selling.

    3.Periodic National promotion by dealers.

    4. The fickle nature of cycles and the whim
    of collectors.

    No market exists without both seller and buyer.

    Price is set by demand and the ability of the sellers to meet that demand. No need go into to the basics.

    If no demand exists then there is no market for whatever that item may be.
