Much the same as was experienced in 1978 when inflation soared to over 12% and the Stock Market plunged to 806...This months wild ride In the stock market with fluctuations of 800 points a day are visible indicates to the markets instability... In early 1978 a $5.00 Plate block Columbian Expedition Cataloged for approximately $1,000... By years end that same Plate block soared to a staggering $17,000  approx. As gold moves upward so do stamps in lock step...This is not pie in the sky thinking...It is actual proven fact. United States Stamps and Coins are valued as inflationary hedges because they are produced by U.S. Government agencies and backed by the full faith of the United States.  Other recognized hedges on inflation are the commodities of Gold, Silver, Platinum and Art...Although Art is not a commodity, Art has been a solid investment against inflation and is recognized as such... Diamonds have been removed from the hedge list due to their vast numbers. Stamp collections and in particular high denomination sheets and singles as well as 19th century stamps soared as gold soared in value..If you look back at this time period, stamps rose in lock step with gold prices..this is not a pie in the shy belief, it is a proven fact...Stamps and sheets did just that 30 years ago. Coins on the other hand, unless the coin has a special value as to availability, rose only to the price of the current bouillon ask and sell at that time. ... BEST OF LUCK BIDDERS.
