[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 815033, member: 8012"]Amen. Nailed. GD, I'm impressed. <icon of smiley guy "I am not worthy" bowing up&down> These are the common man's "rare" coins. There will always be the people with massive disposable income (or so they think) who buy the one of five existing examples of whatever for 1.2 million (or whatever). But I think my goal (and perhaps yours and many other CT members) is to own a 16D or a 32S Washington or even a '21 mercury (if you're on a tight budget). If the half-dime isn't popular now, it's quite unlikely that it'll be popular 20 years from now when you want to sell it. You don't have to go back to the 1800's for low mintage. The 1950 proof set had a mintage of 51,000 or so. But they're just NOT that popular! And there are dozens of other examples.[/QUOTE]
