Supply is certainly part of the equation but not the only part. In this case demand may be a bigger part of the equation than supply. </p><p><br /></p><p>In your example the supply of 1916-S Barber Dimes may be less than its Mercury Dime counterpart (assuming the survival rates are similar) but the demand for the Barber Dime is much less than for the Mercury Dime. There are many more Mercury Dime collectors than Barber Dime collectors and they need the 1916-S Mercury Dime to complete their sets. This higher demand for the 1916-S Mercury Dime results in a higher price. With fewer Barber Dime collectors there is less demand for the 1916-S Barber Dime and hence a lower price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
