I was walking through the streets just outside the Boston Commons area
and I noticed many coin shops. Having collected a few years ago, I
walked in and just took a glance at some of what was being offered.
I couldn't believe how drastically high the prices seemed in comparison
to a few years ago. Or is it just Boston that seems to have high
prices? Can anyone give me an idea of how bad inflation
has been since, say, 1978?

I would like to know what were the prices that surprised you so much.
I guess all the coin prices increase (or decrease) at about the same rate so
one of the ways to compare is to use the prices for proof sets from recent
years. Since I haven't been paying much attention to coin prices lately,
maybe someone on the net could tell us how much proof sets from the past
10-20 years go for these days and how much they have changed over the years.
