    I wonder how many people consider that when they are reading their "free" newsletter/blogs/emails or know it all Influencer?

    Yes, if coins of a particular series go up say 10%, the key dates logically do the same. You just net more from 10% of a $10k coin than 10% of a $100 coin. What would happen to change that relationship is an influx of "investors" who only focus on the key dates. Otherwise it's just a "rising tide lifts all boats" scenario.

    I look at coin collecting as a hobby where I won’t lose too much if I’m careful. If I’m lucky, might even gain adjusted for inflation. I like to do short series that appeal because of history and/or design beauty. One advantage (or disadvantage, depending on point of view) of completing series is that you are forced to acquire the key dates.
