<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 294566, member: 112"]The information you need to understand this is that mintage numbers quite often have little if anything to do with a coin's value. The only thing that really matters is supply and demand. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, sometimes a small mintage number will actually hold down the value of a given coin. Sound rediculous ? It isn't. The reason it isn't is very logical once you think about it. You see, in order for the value of a coin to go up there have to be a lot of people who want that coin - a lot of collectors trying to complete a set in other words. And what happens with coins with small mintage numbers is that collectors realize that not everybody will be able to have an example since the mintage is so low - the result of that is that no one, or very few collect them. That translates into low or no demand. And that means low prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
