If There is a Deep and Wide Coin Market Recession...

It will be interesting to see who is still standing (remains active posters) on these boards.

I would suspect that a lot of the numismatic investors (those in it for strictly capital appreciation purposes) will disappear.

Perhaps the cadre of nouveau coin E-Bay coin dealers will get whittled down as well. Which for the most part
and in my opinion will be very welcome.

To keep it coin related, post a coin from the depression era

maybe the number of posters will decrease because they are getting sick and tired of reading this type of post.

At the mint, they have coin depression

Are we feeling catty today, brother?

Perhaps we may see a few more sets removed and sold. At the beginning of the April collapse, several folks I know had to sell to pay the bills.

On the other hand, some of those nouveau Ebay buyer/seller types learn enough on these boards to refine and enlarge their collecting focus. My collection has definitely taken a turn for the better since I began actively following the forum.

If There is a Deep and Wide Coin Market Recession...

it will probably be the least of my concerns.

Prices haven't softened yet, but sales seem slower. Just a matter of time.

39Special · October 8, 2008 10:15AM

When I look at this coin I don't feel depressed! PCGS MS65RB also like LeeG's.

Let's look at the bright side....Both sides of 1929 as well.................

The sun will shine again!

commoncents123 · October 8, 2008 10:35AM

alot of impossible to get coins will hit the market...

OregonCityGold · October 8, 2008 10:37AM

If there's a big recession, those of us with lots of ducats may be able to buy great coins at fire sale prices. But I agree with Ryk, buying coins would probably be the last thing on my mind. Hmmm. On second thought, I don't know. I might go without food for the right coins.

As long as "1929" seems to be the theme:

(no, it's not mine.

Wow, what do you mean wow? I can barely read the date on the coin and it's off center

Cool, another thread about economic apocalypse.

These types of comments by the OP are simply uncalled for, "It will be interesting to see who is still standing (remains active posters) on these boards.

There's simply nothing quite like a penny collector coming on strong like an elitist, and I know that it's hard for you to fathom that some people enjoy Moderns along with investing, but that's life. Get over it.

Oh, to keep it "coin related",

A healthy hobby should have room for collectors, traders and sellers of all expertise, nouveau or not, rather than just some exclusive segment of the population. What fun would that be?

I love these if questions,

We all have heard about if frogs had wings!

IF IF IF IF IF IF

Don't forget about the great Panic and Depression of 1873. We still have not recovered from that one.

The Panic of 1873 was the start of the Long Depression, a severe nationwide economic depression in the United States that lasted until 1879. It was precipitated by the bankruptcy of the Philadelphia banking firm Jay Cooke on September 18, 1873, following the crash on May 9, 1873 of the Vienna Stock Exchange in Austria (the so-called Gründerkrach or founders' crash). It was one of a series of economic crises in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

I am so sick of these threads (for the last two years) that I hope there is a 'deep and wide coin market recession'.... at least then we may see threads about 'how we will survive and make good'... what a bunch of weeping willies... sheeeeessshhh... Cheers, RickO

Actually, for true collectors, a sharp decline in
the value or rare coin values would prove to be
a benefit. The question I have is whether in such
an economy............will any of us have the money
to make purchases at the new lower prices?

Decided to wander over from the metals forum, eh? Good for you.

Don't like the subject of the thread? Too bad. Totally coin related and tied-into the very current events of the day.
