What would happen to scarce to rare coin values if the stock market collapses?
If a tremendous amount of money comes out of financial assets, it should gravitate to alternative stores of wealth such as hard assets. Scarce to rare coins tend to hold their value or appreciate in the case of a flight to hard assets. For example, after the 1987 stock market crash, the scarce to rare coin market was extremely bullish. In fact, scarce to rare coin prices set records throughout 1988 and 1989, despite the fact that the price of gold actually declined.
