I remember the sudden and almost absolute crash of the coin market, but as I recall, it recovered somewhat for a very short time, then crashed again, this time "permanently" (at least for several years). Am I remembering incorrectly?

Thanks for the link, Michael. It's a cliffhanger!

Thanks, Michael. Great reading that stirs old painful memories. Look forward to the friday's part 2.

I also remember the "crash" seems to me what really sticks in my memory was the fact that Bunker Hunt had a article written about him in a Playboy magazine about how he tried to monopolize the silver market and lost his pants. (so to speak)

I'm guessing you guys are referring to url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Thursday]Silver Thursday[/url] and the impact of the Hunt bros, trying to coin the silver market had on coin collectors.

 

Not that I'm an economics guy, but I'd be interested to hear a recount of what happened to the coin collecting as a result. I was but a lad at the time, but I assume coin collecting, photography and some other silver related industries at the time were hit pretty hard by this.

 

A cornering of the copper market was tried in1996 , by a japanese company. But I would doubt that was widely felt in the coin markets.

 

I guess I should read the article, huh
